I am in the middle of a restoration of a 1946 H Whizzer. I thought I would start a thread here of the restoration & post pics & info here as the project moves forward. The bike and engine are now disassembled. I will post a picture of the bike the day I brought it home. Very rough!!! The spokes & chain broke as I rolled it to my garage. The cool thing is I am restoring this bike for an older guy that owned this bike from new. He was telling me stories about riding this back in the late 40's. He hasn't had it running since the mid 50's. It has sat in a shed since then on his farm. I think it's pretty cool that he is planning on riding it again even though he is in his 70's. To start with the engine had no compression. It turned out as I thought. After teardown I found the exhaust valve was stuck. Loosened easily with some lube. The rod bearing & wrist pin are both wasted. The bearing race on right side of crank is no longer a pressed fit. Engine components have been sent to David Reese in Ohio for machine work. In the mean time I have began glass beading the frame, tank & misc. items. I will post more as project moves along. I have some more pics in "my photo album" I will post some more pics here later as it is taking forever. Thanks, Dan
