Tahiti Island - Grand Dad Bike Magneto Madness

I kick-started Old Grand Dad Bike for the very first time on February 8th, 2013.. Since, it started on one kick maybe three times only.. The rest of the time it needs an average of ten kicks.. I always checked everything to find the f**king problem. The only information I didn't had was the specific settings of spark plugs gap when you have a magneto !

I found the solution on the Easyriders TECH TIPS & TRICKS book at page 55.

I replaced the HD 5R6A spark plugs with a pair of Champion N12YC (without Resistance) and setting the gap to .015. Start Old Grand Dad is now a breeze... It takes now two kicks when cold and only one when hot !

 Trust me a kick only magneto Shovelhead can be tuned to be started in one kick !

Lace paint job, more pics with the gas tank.. I will repaint the whole bike after... for now it's just a self training.. I never done this before..
Next time I will use a spray gun with car paint.. Spray paints are not good for this purpose, for example this kind of paint not resist to gasoline.. (not true, I overfilled the bike by mistake and nothing happened to the paint)

Perfect lace paint job.. For a good job, lace must be perfectly stretched on the workpiece.. I used magnets to maintain lace in the other side of the fender..
