You don't need to use a pneumatic gun... a manual gun is fine. Just make
sure to use aluminum pop-rivets. Drill out the old one, glop some silicone
on both sides of the hole, and install the new rivet. A little silicone on
the rivet (on the outside) when you're done, won't hurt either.

condition. But has a few rivets missing rivets or worn down. Can i use a
newmatic rivet gun and pop rivets to repair it? Thanks to the smart guys

was right on. The flywheeklwas corroded to the crank woodruf key was ok. I
used about half a can of rust releaser and two days of soaking. Thanks
