Did some tweaking and the Bazoo runs great.. needed a proper 1" wide belt.. and the fuel tank hooked up properly..

Yup.. I was using my phone to video.. and that's my good friend that's been helping me doing the driving.. We are sure that it could keep up with traffic.. But Needs tweaking to go slow too. And I need to find a better gas tank.. But the drive train is doing good.. very rugged. Sure could use six tires... the middle two are flat.

damn that's a quick machine compared to mine, I've really gotta get my clutching dealt with and such.

Nice work, nice to see it running and having fun with it thanks for sharing

All I could do is make a Video of us trying to start the motor.. Na.. I've had the motor running twice.. but now that it's needed for the test run.. won't go.. keeps flooding or ??? I think the walbro carb has a lot to do with this.. Grrrrr

Got that video yet? We are waiting LOL

Yes... It's taken a month to get a new axle made.. And I just got it this last week.. So been busy putting it all back together.. Ran the motor today.. but I need more gas.. Tomorrow we will take it out for a test run.. and I will get a video.. on youtube.

Turns out the CCW engine is a 290 cc which I believe to be to optional higher HP motor. It almost seemed to be adapted.. but maybe not.
You can see the whole restore at my blog.. http://www.robeye.net/2014/01/14/bazoo/

also built a new dash for the Bazoo.. with all new goodies and the stuff I wanted.

The only thing kept from the old dash is the 12 volt power point. added a horn.. just cause I can.. A main power on light. and on indicator lights for the head lights and the running lights. The extra hole is for the choke control. The whole thing removes easy to get at the fuses & wires. And it angles just a touch for better access.
