Here’s where I am now. It’s got so much torque it should be playing bass for the monkees.

I rode it again today. Took it to 45 but then ran outta room (I live in an urban area so not many long roads to test it) it had plenty more to give. I’m confident 55 isnt an unrealistic goal. Brakes need to be adjusted or replaced...49 year old brake shoes need a little tlc or replacement. I...

I rode it today for the first time and I lived to tell about it! Nice torque. I didn’t take it too fast since I was just in my neighborhood. The handeling feels a little wonky but I’ll get used to it. I do need to figure out the air filter position because right now The location prevents me...

Do you think I can charge my battery with a bottle dynamo or would that be an awful idea. I attached a picture of the battery I’m using

Well that’s dumb

I thought I read you can’t use the charging coil with a billet flywheel. Is that true? I hope not. I like being able to run lights

I got some OT money so I’m bought a billet flywheel for my Subaru. What, if any performance upgrades can I expect (besides the obvious - not having the flywheel blowing up when I hit maximum rpm)

I talked to the guy last night. He claims the tac has a 3/4 shaft and a 12v starter. From what I’ve read it can run in the mid 3000’s can I safely increase the rpm?

Would the Briggs be powerful enough?

Whoops picture wasn’t attached

I’m trying to fly this thing. I currently have a Subaru ohc 212 cc on it but variety is the spice of life

I was worried about that.

Picture

I have a chance to get some used engines cheap 1 is a predator for $80 1 is a 5hp briggs for $50 1 is a 10hp tecumseh for 70 I have no idea if they run here are the pros that I can think of Predator - lots of after market parts Briggs - a flathead looks cool Tecumseh - has an electric start...

I put the new carb on but when it starts it runs for a few seconds then dies. I fiddled with the air mix screw but not much else. It’s obviously a fuel issue, I just have to figure out what I’m doing wrong.

So no issue with leaving the tube not connected to anything?

I replaced the efi with a carb and I have a different air filter on it. That leaves a hole in the valve cover. Can I plug that or is it necessary? I can always put on the old air box if it’s absolutely necessary

Fitting everything right has proven to be harder than I expected

I’m so close. Just need to wiggle things into the right place

I’m going to try this. I’ll weld the nipple to the flange and seal the threads with Teflon tape.
