you guys and this forum rock!!

you guys pick up on the finest details and always push me off in the right direction.

My pops said "as soon as you left us old timers alone the crank dropped down into the upper case" so it must of just been stuck on a seal of some sort. cant wait to get down there and put this thing back together how its supposed to be. im a little nervous on what else the previews owner may have done wrong but the engine seems to start and run as good as my CA.

Thank you all again for sharing the knowledge! hopefully others will benefit from this documentation.

Now that you are in there you may want to look at a couple of other parts for ware.
14mm brass bushing, kick starter pawl, shift fork contact ends and consider replacing all seals. ..................lm

Yes you did. Now I'm waiting on new locking washers for the fork pins to arrive in the mail. & figure out what removes fresh "Honda bond4" off the cases.
