Shocking news

I have found a new level of tired.  I sit here and write instead of brewing coffee, losing sleep, again, and going out into the cold to resurrect the beast the dwells in my garage. 

I say beast, and mean it.  The term 'basket case' is the bane of every great intention.  Let me explain:
No cylinders, carbs, exhaust, oil tank, tires, control cabels, and a layer of dust that causes sneezing fits just being near the bike.

I have decided to really take the bike's life into my hands and rewind the stator.  It's the classic 5-wire Lucas, yes Prince of Darkness Lucas, for the Hornet.  I'm converting to a 6-pole 3-phase system.  No one else makes one, only a two-wire single-phase mod is out there...

So, the mapping is done...now the winding...maybe tomorrow when I can see straighter...
