Hey Brian, i do have it running, just haven’t had space to get out of first gear. It gets moving quickly enough, but these tires aren’t for off road and slowing down on a grassy path is squirrelly at best.
Carbs are actually 36mm, i was told they were 38’s by the PO, but it was 2 sets of 36, not one of each like he thought.
I just can’t get over how vicious it sounds even at 1/2 throttle, it just wants to rev and rev and rev. It pulls nicely from just off idle to the 1/2 point so far, does nice little burnouts with the old avon am23 haha.
Starting to wonder if i bother keeping it though. The more the summer progresses, the more i realize it will probably only see the track once a year with me, if i go through the process of getting the papers in order.
