Multi-problemed bike (electrical + ???)

It's been the last year or so that all of these valve problems have been popping up... I don't remember being an issue for most of the life of this forum. All of the years of these bikes are different, and I haven't really kept up with mileage data. Maybe it's just that we have more members trying to fix a problem instead of people never posting and then just throwing their bikes, away. But it seems odd.

Anyway. The valve issue isn't something that happened because of you cranking the bike. A few different things had to fail all around the same time, and the broken gear and the subsequent searching for issues probably all boils down to this.

What kind of shape was your old head in? You'll also want the guides too. I don't recall the whole story. But if you have a good head on hand, then you're good to go. I'd just swap it over.
