Hi everyone,
I swear to you I am the slowest engine builder on the face of the planet. I just don't know what is wrong with me.
Anyway, here's the deal now:
~I need to have my muffler modified slightly to clear the pedals. I took it to the local muffler shop, and they said that it couldn't be done. All I need to do is have it bent about 1/2 inch down and 1/2 inch to the right. The dude at the shop is suggesting that I cut the muffler, find a joint at the hardware store that would fit it, and bring it back to them to weld it into place. This is supposed to be the 'premiere' muffler shop in town. I have a call in to a friend who got some custom work done at a place that made her Volkswagon sound like a lawnmower ( I don't know why she wanted that, but she did....) to see if maybe they might do it....but does anyone have any suggestions how I might do this myself, or some other option? My pedal is just barely hitting the curve of the muffler pipe.
~ Am I going to have to pedal start this engine after every stop at a stop sign, etc? Or does it keep on keepin' on?
~I have a Kuala Moon Dog. When I got it, and before I put the engine on it, I thought it was hard to pedal. Now that I have the engine on it, it seems impossible to get the pedals to go around. Is that normal?:-/ I ask this because I have really bad knees and wear a brace on one leg after having it ripped off in a motorcycle accident in '92, and pedaling is a bit hard for me sometimes. Any input or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
