Re: Wheel painting
Yes,best doing them yourself,only have them blast cleaned if there is deep rust and no solid surface to work on,pick a nice summer week and do them in the garden.

Re: No Spark - help!
Have you tried putting a couple of gallons of fresh petrol in the tank and going for a run? You may be supprised at the difference.Modern fuel looses its volatility.

Re: Hood frame on 12/4
Had a 1928 Clifton for 17 years and no problem with the mechanism,are you sure yours is an original frame and not one remanufactured by some one?
