For whatever reason, a Roper plate doesn't seem to be needed on the Centauro. That said, as far as I know.. they're the same.

I've learned this over many years of playing with classic and antique airplanes. If you see something you think you need, you had better get it because it might very well be the last you'll ever see.

There is that. I've done in on antique airplanes.. and just old airplanes.. for years. There is a *great* amount of satisfaction on returning a pile of rusted parts to a living breathing machine. As our friend Bill says though Comma but. That is a POS when restored to running condition. If you really want to put the sweat equity in a project.. make it a good one. Just MHO.

Pete beat me to it. Back in the day, a friend and I traded bikes for a weekend. He had a R90S, and I had a Duck. I thought, "*this* POS is what people are raving about??" At the time, I thought hinge in the middle of the frame handling, but Pete has a much more accurate description..

That is a good thing..

Yep, if you aren't having fun with your toys, you don't have the right toys.

Have a good look at the rear transmission mount.

^^^^

Easy. Collectors and antiquers want the real thing.

I can see them, but I use Google photos. I'm not sure people that don't can see them.. Oh, and only the first picture comes up. I have to click on each to see it.

I haven't had much luck doing that. I sprung the 11 bucks for imgzeit.. he's a good boy..

Are you using google photos?

Looks like a good job to me..

Sorry, Bob. You just have to play the cards you're dealt. I'd be on it like a duck on a june bug if I were in the market..

Yooo Hooo.. Docc..

Well, yeah.. I did get ahead a bit.

Oil oil oil Can't do with out it Oil oil oil It's misunderstood.. Back to you, Docc..

I deposited that one in the "Some things are not meant to be understood" file.

FWIW, back when I used to work on Centauros for guys that couldn't find a dealer to do it, I found one sensor that had actually been milled by the flywheel. Still worked.

Min spec is .023" from memory.

That's a fact, and I've seen it. During the annual inspection of an aircraft, one of the things you do is remove the fuel line from the gascolator to the carb and carefully look through it.

I don't know about it running fine stock. The Kid's Greenie was hard to ride..

Are the two steel "ears" with it?

Que Roper in 3...2...1. A Power Commander works, but is really old technology. With GuzziDiag, you can load a new map, which is a much more elegant solution.

Thanks, Bill. You really should take care around that rowdy bunch, though. They might lead you down the path..
