I "have not" pulled the heads to verify piston size/height/bore, stroke, etc.

Carb is correct for the year as a M344 Linkert.
A partial restore is started.
DO NOT FAULT incorrect hardware! Current install is a mixture!
Magneto was sent off to Belanger's in Maine or "Mainely Magneto's" in January 2016. Replaced!
