While I’m waiting for parts to arrive, I started looking at my next Ace motor build. Here’s what I figured out....
A while back, I bought 2 Ace cylinders, shipped, for $80! I also have 1 Ace head with hardware. I had 2 std. pistons, one with rings, one without, left over from the package Paul S. Sent me. I used the 3rd piston, a .020 over with rings, in the Ace B. Guess what? Both cylinders appear to be std. bore! So I only need a set of std. rings for the second cylinder/piston combo!
I have a complete Ace bottom end with rod included. It’s missing the primary gear but there is one on the other tranny which has that seized .080 piston/cylinder on it.
I also have 4 remaining wrist pins, 2 of them new! So I only need a top rod bearing and circlips and then a bottom end rebuild kit, & I’ll have a fully functional Ace 100 motor for my 5 year old granddaughter’s bike! Carb is sitting in my floor stand tool box, already built.
I’ll need an Ace seat, and an Ace B pipe. Might need a wiring harness but it can weight. Have 2 sets of wheels, 1, 17” rear tire, head light, tail light (for later when she gets her drivers license a long way down the road)A rack & tool box, and I’ll get her some new handle bars. Alan is holding an Ace tank for me as well!
Alan took a trip to Alberta this week to see his son & grandson! On his way home today, he stopped along the way and bought a 94 Wombat and 3 Aces!!! That’s right, 3 Aces!!! And he got them for a pretty amazing price!
So, we will both be busy for quite a while building/restoring! That’s what’s going on!
Oh, BTW, did I say she wants me to paint it PINK?!!!
