Hi, my name is Chris, and this is the first time I've joined a forum like this so it's a little confusing for me. I just relocated from Milwaukee to Indiana and found myself with a little bit too much time on my hands, so i took up bike rebuilding as a hobby.
It all started out innocent enough! I bought and fixed up a 1980 Schwinn Continental. Next I started to build a Phantom. While in the middle of working on the Phantom I came across another bike. After getting this bike home and researching it I discovered I had a 1948 Schwinn whizzer S-10 motorbike!
After some fixing up I thought wouldn't it be cool to get a motor on this bike? I couldn't locate an old motor I could afford but located a basket case pacemaker 2. A few days later I had bike together. I thought if I could get pacemaker running I could than put the wc1 motor on the old bike.
I'm stalled now at trying to get new bike running. I put new head on motor and have new carb and electrical components coming this week. So far no spark. At this point I have more questions than answers. I found this forum and I hope I can get some help. The guy i've bought over $200 dollars of parts from seems put out from my questions.
Look forward to talking with some of you! Thanks
