Thanks Tero!!! That is awesome! I always wondered what some of those numbers meant! And Jester, thanks for the compliment! I am waiting on light bulbs to finish up the 12 volt conversion, then I'm gonna prime the oil in the motor and see if she fires! I would post some pictures in here but I can't figure it out.
