Probably putting out a few more ponies than this lockdown-spec number I knocked together in a couple of hrs on Saturday. Sadly I couldn't find any donor bikes/carts/barrows for wheels so half of the time was jigsawing the epic 7-ply wagon wheels (with stainless tube-bushed, coach screw axles)...

Goes hard for what it is

That's all that is good! Perfectly made and will provide hours of entertainment.

DIY air box, so CV carburetor can run in a slight vacuum.

Yes, yes that is a fuel tank off a kids pocket bike...but fuck, what a difference it makes!

I'm being a pussy, as I'm starting to totally destroy my lawn. It's a lot bumpier than it looks, gets pretty sketchy in a few places, so not wanting to add to the health service burden, I'm taking it easy to remain unharmed.

That's so choice, is that a flying fox I also spy there?

The funny thing is I was really grumpy when I made this as the perfectionist in me wanted to do a good job, but the reality is the kids couldn't give a shit and have been playing with it way more than full effort stuff I've made

Found this thing on the side of the road. 

Took it home,  filled the flagons inside it with kero.. no go.

 

Blew all the jelly out of the fuel lines

Garage heater.. it needs painting though

Fuck, that just have me full flashbacks of my nana's house when I was 6ish, thing used to billow clouds of unburnt kero when it ran out of gas.. Looked exactly like that.
