    Okay, that's a bit far - maybe 10 hrs from San Diego. I ordered some generic atv muffler off ebay for $46 including shipping and got it today. It looks like it matches up pretty well, just have to mount to my modified rotax pipe and try it.

    The left stick when pulled back was a slight bit farther back than the right stick (like an 1") , but equal in forward throw.. so I adjusted the left upper plunger bolt at the T20.. is this okay and the correct way to align the stick?

    Well I got my Fuel pump rebuilt.... two words come to mind...HAUL ASS! yes now I know why they say the Superchief is fast! Before.. it was always running very rich and at times run good.. but after the fire and realizing the fuel pump diaphram had a leak in the engine side it seems as though it may have been pulling gas from there into the engine.. So I asked George a few carb questions and he in turn referred m to Don.. he gave me a few tips to look for to determine how it's running (if it's too lean) .. so yesterday I drove it up and down the side of the street in front of the house ... no more oily mess at the flex hose, and no more smoke trail, and runs like a raped ape! The choke doesn't seem to function though so I'm gonna look into that..I had to prime it to start it... as soon as I get my new Zipper tires mounted I will show it off complete wit new roll bar... Before I had intentions of selling it but this is way to much fun to drive, and besides I needed something I could get muddy since my quads only see sand.. George is hooking me up with some needed parts and I'm returning the favor
