Glen . how do the short strokes compare in performance to the newer long strokes,and can I still get parts for the short strokes?
A good SS will run with a good LS.
I have many of the parts for a SS, but there are some that are no longer available...cases, piston/sleeves (I have new pistons for sale), crankshafts. If you have a good SS then make sure you keep good bearings in it (change them BEFORE they wear out and you can make the case last forever), use a good quality fuel, and be easy on squeezing the needle and it should continue to run for a long time.
Give me a call if you ever need anything for it.
