their sites been a little sketchy for me. working now but has been working on and off lately.

should be easy enough. pretty sure they do run a battery, but wouldnt it be easier to just wear some warm gloves or something?

not sure exactly. but for mine i used the dremel for 5-10 mins then did the rest by hand, as i did not have any bits fine enough to finish it, only to remove horrible bits. just used some sort of small round grinding thing (not a grinding block) and then did the rest with wet and dry. i'm sure...

take your time and be patient.. if you rush it you will more than likely ruin the head. make sure everything is smooth, no sharp bends etc.

rebuild time? does it run? or still cant kick it over?

yeah, LOTS of good info in there regardless of pics.. ive read through it before. basically you will want a steady hand if your doing this. also patience, take your time to do anything. the faster you move the faster it goes wrong. what plans did you have? bigger valves?

usually they will ground through the frame to the battery. sort of makes things simpler and cleaner. dont think anything from the cdi should be going to the positive of the battery. off the top of my head, im not sure of the layout, all the colors should match up. Here is a diagram (thanks...

hows it going? if you sorted it out please disregard the following post. :) hmmm, cant see the wires too well, but is there two yellows or a yellow and a white wire? (non striped) if so those will be the positives to go into the rectifier. from the looks of things, the black wire coming out of...
