Sounds like it may have had a 12v conversion, or wired to bodge a 12v system. Have you looked into whether the stator/flywheel setup and other parts reflect a 6v or 12v system? Thanks mate, I downloaded an original manual for the sprint and my front badge is the same as the one pictured in the manual. Maybe they were different for different countries?Yes I really want to fix that kick start problem, I think that will be happening soon if I get up the courage to pull the engine apart that much.

I have had the body and all painted parts sandblasted for painting. There are a lot of ripples in the front fender and damage to the leg shield on both sides. It's going to cost some money, that's for sure. I've got some great people working on it so I have no worries there. Yes No Thank
