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.

Prepare to be boarded!

September 13, 2022 at 8:12 am #265977As 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.Prepare to be boarded!

September 13, 2022 at 2:28 pm #265998I guess my hope for a miracle solution was a fantasy. I too have tried everything in my chemical collection with no success.
September 13, 2022 at 5:03 pm #266009I wonder if methylated spirit or alcohol of some sort, would be worth a try
September 16, 2022 at 10:31 am #266125I’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!
September 16, 2022 at 8:40 pm #266166Out 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.Prepare to be boarded!
