oldmatedan Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 Big gap to fill Figure will be way stronger than stock because thicker steel and double the amount of spots in there The accelerator mounts right here so don't blame it for rusting to hell rite here 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldmatedan Posted October 4, 2017 Author Share Posted October 4, 2017 Couple pics of the powerhouse,amazing reliability really goes hard for what it is? Filled the sump right up with fuel the other day,going to pull the carbs down and rekit think the front float must be sticking open sometimes Changed the oil and filter let it run on the hoist got up to temp then repeat Shifted leads 1 to 4 round sending compression up through the carbs Worked a treat! Must of had a blocked jet somewhere idles way smoother starts a bit better and for now floats not wide open Still try to sort some carb kits just not as urgently as I first thought 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
