Hello Tyler, MF, Gadge and Norm,
Your comments are appreciated. If worst comes to worst I have a few mates who are into their karting. One of their engine builders has a shop about 20 minutes away from me. Maybe they can blueprint and balance my engine while I'm there...!!! I'll check with my local mower shop. They're pretty bloody good, so I'll see.
I had half thought of putting on EI. That would require removing the flywheel? I don't have a whole lot at my disposal to get that off, let alone the correct tools. I'd hate to crack it, it's in really good nick.
I'm starting to think I should not have powder coated my Scotty! It really doesn't see water, and I love the finish, but I'll be keeping an eye on it. What are your collective thoughts regarding vapour blasting? Again, just throwing ideas around, but getting the deck blasted that way could leave it with a really cool finish. Kinda factory, kinda not. Bitumen paint the carrier and deck underside and it'll probably outlast me.
Bring on that service manual.
