Is there a reason no one makes repros of these cylinders? Or have I just not found them? Or did i just cross the purist line? lol. Anyways, Seems like a needed part, but i could be wrong. I'm just trying to determine if it's worth developing [further] and just wanted some input. I have a quote to ge...

Thanks, Darryl. The pic is from before final assembly. I didn't restore the Mag, but am sure there is a wick in it. Surprisingly, I couldn't find anything in the handbook about filling it. I could have overlooked it in the translation process.

Thanks again.

Is there any regular maintenance that has to be done to a magneto? i see these two access points which keep yelling at me to drop some oil in them or something.

Also, Does anyone use anything on the paper gaskets (i.e. cylinders) and head gaskets?

Thanks

I guess paying with Paypal was of some use. I opened a complaint and heard from them in less then 24 hours. Just got my stuff.

Does anyone know why Dreher is unresponsive? I ordered some stuff and paid and haven't heard a word from them in almost a month. It's nerve wrecking.
