Aw shucks Kenny, ya make me blush. But really fisherman, organization is the key here. Like has been said before, get the manuals, easily found on ebay, and use these as evening reading when you are unwinding after a long day. I ALWAYS find something new and interesting when I do this. And nobody knows everything. The guys on this site have more combined good old farmer knowhow,(been there done that stuff) than could be printed here from now on. Anyway, set the old girl inside where you have room to get around it. Start taking off the tin work, muffler, aircleaner cap, stuff like that, then you can get down to the basics on the motor. Do like the guys said, take it apart completely, cause you don't know where this has been and what it's been doing, and label, label, label. Sure you know the parts when you take them off and where they go, but I'll guarantee that after about six months of just plain life, and a pile of parts later, you'll look at something and wonder,"Where the he11 does that thing go, and how does it get there!" Anyway, sounds like fun, and don't be afraid to go here and ask questions. That's how we all learn, from guys just like yourself with a new project. Git-er-done, Harley

"Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
