Hello all,
I would appreciate your input for some remaining items on finishing the build.

a) exhaust, the stock one is too close to the shell. So how do you get it adapted to the exhaust that sits between the middle and rear axle? Cut of the tube and use flexible pipe?
b) I have read about the fuel tank getting too hot over time, but there is a line going to the top, that may be essential. BTW, after 20 mins of running it did not get warmer than body temperature.
No idea if it vents the crankcase or builds pressure to feed the engine. Anyhow the metal tank in the front does only have the feed line now. Do I have to, does it make sense...to connect feed and "return" line upfront and somehow adapt the "return" line to the metal tank by drilling a hole in it and looking for a rubber grommet?
c) I followed the advice with the bicycle cable for the throttle, works like a charm. For the choke, since it is not spring loaded (yet) any good alternative versus spring loading it and a 2nd bike lever? Is there a dial type that I could run up to the "dashboard"?
d) The engine has the electric starter. So I extended all 5 cables to the dashboard, Starts fine, but does not shut off, only way to stop it is either putting the choke on or the fuel cock on "off". Is it supposed like that or can I set it up differently.
Anyway, yesterday I got it moving under its own power. What a fun way to move about criss-crossing the property!
Cheers
