rdnhaz, NH isn't that far away from maine. heck, we are neighbors! i'll probably have the tools through spring. if you like, yank your engine, bring it to portland, and strip it at our shop. now that i've done it twice, i'd be glad to walk you through it. i'd loan you the set if it was mine to loan....

happy new year to all. so how tricky is it to replace the small end bushes in the connecting rods? i didn't even find the procedure listed in my manual. in my triumph manual, a draw bolt method is outlined, using the new bush, to push out the old. or... should i just let a machine shop handle this? ...

next time, i will use the proper tool!
thanks duane, for your advice.

do they by chance share the same generator?
