Got mine fired up yesterday for first time this year, no apparent leaks in the driveway anyways! New back seat installed, next comes the part where the old lady comes in, cleaning the inside! wax her up and maybe someday the warm weather will come again!

I've been sweatin a bit about me with the impact and hammer on the puller. So I called my local engine builder and told him what i did. He said i shouldn't loose any sleep over it. He said it was possible to hurt the thrust bearing on the crank, but not likely. Hopefully all is well; otherwise, it's going to be another long summer.
