sure, if you take monopoly money!
realistically, i won't build squat and will sell the rail tubeframe, etc when someone wants it.
if i do build it, it'll get a spare 600 yamaha.
there's a fella in VA selling a subie 6.5 kart motor for 40 bucks right now on CL, btw.
that's silly cheap.

i wasn't pleased to realize my HF clone's carb was dumping fuel outta the bowl vent after i opened the petcock today.
lost at least a quart.
after only an hour's total run time and letting it use up all the fuel in the bowl to shut down every time i'm less impressed w/ chinamotor quality.
a rap on the bowl unstuck the needle but that's kinda irritating this soon from new.
on the flip side, the engine keeps running at ridiculous tilt angles (i was almost vertical today; maybe 85 degrees up) and stays very cool even after several minutes at WOT/load.
