      Frank, here’s the reeds on my 14 hp, and a 1951 12 hp Gale.
      Looks like you’re correct again!

        Hey Buck, do you have a photo of  your Fastwin without the manifold on?  The bolt pattern looks the same as the Gale and I wonder if the manifolds are interchangeable?  My Speedster might be able to be converted to a Super Speedster!

        Here’s the Elto Speedster crankcase,  with the mandatory coil juice and all.

          Mumbles, you might have to just put some nitro in your gas tank to get the extra two horse power.

            As a sidebar question, what have you all used to remove the coil juice?  My entire power head is covered.

              Steve, I first tried mineral spirits, acetone, and lacquer thinner……
              none did much, so I resorted to mechanical means.
              Scrappers, drill with wire brush, and Dremel with various brushes.
              I cleaned on it for two days before I was satisfied enough
              to paint the power head.
              Anything that I could unbolt from the power head went in the
              sandblaster…… much easier!

              P.S.- I just had a thought, and wondered why I didn’t try a hair dryer
              or propane torch to soften up the resin first.

                I guess my hope for a miracle solution was a fantasy.  I too have tried everything in my chemical collection with no success.

                  I wonder if methylated spirit or alcohol of some sort, would be worth a try

                    I’ve done that Universal OMC coil swap.  It’s not too bad.  Worked out fine for me.

                    Did your coil towers with plug wires also exit out of the bottom of the mag plate?
                    I haven’t gotten around looking at my mag plate this morning….. still
                    cleaning the powerhead. 🙁

                    Actually….I don’t think so.  I looked for a picture of mine but can’t find one.  I think my plug wires exited out the top?  I like the bottom version better!

                      Out the bottom it is then! Just got the coils today, but hopefully I’ll get to the mag plate
                      re-do in the next few days.
