Red: Tank Differences

Unfortunately, both spare tanks I have do NOT fit the Red frame.

Red has a "bench" on the frame to mount both seat and tank.

And this is a shot of the tank mount that DOESN'T fit.  The one I need has a straight "tab" that would line up with the top of the bench.  I imagine there's some kind of rubber mount that goes in there somewhere, too.

Gasket Madness

Early style right crankcase gasket (at top), with the oval oil passage near the head.  And the later style (below) without the oval oil passage.

And just learned from Bill the S90 Guru that the later style gasket is supposed to cover the oil filter opening, and that you're supposed to change the gasket every time you need to clean the filter!

But at least the gasket mystery is finally solved.

Roxy vs Viola: Muffler Madness

Looks like Roxy has the "late" (why late if she's supposed to be '64?) 2-piece muffler with 2 mounting points.  Viola has the single piece version that has a bolt that goes through the mount point and then secured with a nut.


Viola...

Roxy...
