took a long break from this project. it is now ready for paint. matte grey pannels, bright day glo orange tubing, blue accents.
i did go against moral conduct, and put a tecumseh on it. 3.5 hp. it runs surprisingly well, but the governer doesnt work right. it was free, because it was a box of parts. it wasnt missing a single thing surprisingly! it was almost never used. it came off a frozen powerwasher, and my the guy took it apart for fun. the only mod is a hater pipe. i hate those l shaped mufflers, since they sound like a diesel. the stacks actually work. and since i drilled lots of small holes to feed the headers, it is quieter than stock. it is a good 2500 rpm cruiser, with enough punch to wheelie from 10 mph. being a standup, it makes a fantastic drift scooter, in wet grass, and is alot of fun , once youve learned how to control the slide. the seat is removable, but it saves you from falling into the headers in a wreck. i am going to do rear disc breaks. i really want to build another one, so i can cruise with a friend. if any one has a scooter they would sell me, in the westwood SC, to charlotte NC area. pm me, top speed at 4000 rpm is 26.6 mph.
