Another Benelli Egg bike
Canuck750:
I got back to the Benelli yesterday, pulled the motor and split the cases, the slick start shaft has a sprung square plunger that has a ratchet engagement to the starter gear. The back of the shaft has a plug welded in to close the jetway, the very sparse weld had popped free.
A liberal use of the MIg and the case is closed so to speak

Been watching your projects. All I can say is I wish that I was as talented!
Great work, keep it up.

Thank you for the kind words, its more perseverance than talent, I break half of what I fix!
SIR REAL ED:
--- Quote from: Canuck750 on April 21, 2024, 12:25:01 PM ---I needed to zinc plate a couple small parts I made for the dual brake cable pull, I always send parts out to my local zinc plater who does very good work with a very quick turn around but for two parts I really didn't want to bother him. I have a Caswel power source and some plating supplies so I dug out the box and set up a small plating operation.
Plenty of YouTube videos on line showing variations on the process, I used plain white household vinegar and Epsom salt with a few drops of Caswel zinc brighter, warmed the solution in a microwave to about 120F. In the small container I used I put in about a tablespoon of salt.
The videos seem to adhere to between .2 and .4 amps, about 15 minutes. I experimented with higher volatage / amps and found 0.4 amps was working the best.
The results are no where near as shiny as the professional work I get done but it will suffice in a pinch.
at least it won't rust

Very nice. I have a 50 year old 12v, 13 amp battery charger that I use for electrolysis. Still going strong.
