New Schwinn Build

[lillback44]

I kicked off my New build last week by sending my 56 Schwinn Cantilever frame to powder coat and of course I sent my 1946 H- motor to Quenton Guenther for rebuild. I've already got my frame back from powder coating and can't wait to get the motor back from Quenton! I couldn't think of anyone I would trust or could do a better job than him.
As some people may remember Quenton saved my first project from complete disaster when he was able to fix my wiring problems and he diagnosed my valve problem over the phone and was able to help talk me though a valve adjustment, which resulted in me finally being able to get it running! Didn't want to mention this before but he re-wired my wiring harness for me at no charge because he felt bad about all the trouble I had.
As a result of Quenton's help I was able to part out that bike on ebay and get back most of the money I had wasted on parts I didn't need. He also encouraged me to share my new project on this site after my little tirade which ****ed off a few people on this site. I just want to apologize to anyone I offended, even the ones who personally attacked me. At the time I thought the guy sending photo's of work I just said I did, rather than offering any help, was making fun of me rather than helping.
Soon after I purchased my pacemaker 11, I realized that the amount of electonics and such would prevent me from achieving the old school look I wanted so i've purchased a H-motor and am back to my original project
I will soon be adding more pics and text as I go along. I'll also be adding tips and updated as I go along.

just curious......I dont get why if you and Q fixed your bike as you said...you parted it out on ebay (getting some of your money back wasted)....and now youre putting together another pile of parts to do what? get back to where you were?
BTW, nobody was personally attacking you.......you came on being a smartmouth because you were having a problem and insulted people trying to help you......that was you,not them.
the schwinns cool.

Come on. They guy acknowledged an error publicly and apologized. Let it go.

Anyway, it's a fine looking bike.

Not being a Whizzer guy, I've never had any dealings with Quenton. But he's been around for quite a while here and I've seen plenty of evidence that he's knowledgeable and very helpful.

I wonder how many Whizzers are out there running when they might well have been garbaged by now if not for him?

Racie is replying to the guys attitude.
Being a Whizzer guy, I'm agreeing with Racie, Quenton isn't Whizzer. he is helpful.
The new edition Whizzer has gotten some bad uncalled for, reviews.

Well all I was trying to do was apologize and share this build with people that may be interested in this project, but I guess my apology isn't accepted and people aren't interested in talking about the bike so I won't post anymore on this site. Thanks for your comment blue goat

Hi Guys,

He sold his new edition Whizzer & parts to go back to the vintage motor.

I am currently rebuilding a vintage 1946 "H" motor for him.

The main difference [aside from poor quality & workmanship on the new edition motors] is in the low end torque & clutch system. All the clutches work on the over 200,000 vintage motors and no valve seat, head gasket, temperature problems exist. The vintage motors also have much more bottom end torque, making riding much easier.

I have over 30 Whizzers in my personal collection, about half being vintage versions, therefore it is easy to tell the difference between the two designs.

PS. Please don't let a few comments rob us of seeing your new build in progress. I sure would like to see it to completion.

Have fun,

Absolutely don't let something I say or anyone else determine whether or not you post your build. I just called it as I seen it and I know I was clear.
I think your builds gonna be neat to watch either way. ...have at it.
