been working on pegacorn over Xmas
race motor out for strip down and inspection. I got the 1933 motor complete that I bought 2 years ago as a pile of scrap seized up buggered parts... but mostly there (even if it was shagged from running with no oil)
got it running on xmas day.
had to scollop out the tank to clear the carb on new motor. so it needed a repaint... had some green paint on the shelf. kinda like it kinda hate it. I'll live with it and decide.
YouTube 10 seconds of the valve springs banging up n down

nope they are dual exhaust single cylinder [but you could get a single cylinder head] they breath too much with both pipes on so i just block one off with a plate, can revert back to 2 pipes any time should somebody want to do.
