nothing cool? are you kidding? its black with a skull. how much cooler can you get? :devilish:
it looks good to me. once you have done some searching and still cant come up with an answer, then post a specific 'wont start' tech issue in the Tech lobby, we'll help you get 'er runnin'. ;)

yup, nice. check out the "happy time owner's manual" thoroughly...wiring, clutch, carb, etc...

sounds like the master link clip was facing the wrong way
it should be open toward rear ("C") when on top of loop

youre probably right. like i said im a moped guy and my vespa uses a belt drive. its good information to have though, ill know next time.
okay this is a dumb question, but when idling (like at a stop sign) does the clutch have to be in (like on a car) or will it idle with the clutch out?

thanks guys! this is one of the nicest forums ive been on.
