TEST RUN .. couple minutes of clips from a 25 minute session yesterday.

no brakes, so i went pretty mellow and got used to shifting.

leaky crank seal is the cause of the smoke--made a bit of a mess back there

rear jackshaft bearings come loose too easily--going to take some 3/4x1/2 "stock (golf cart steering arms) and make threaded holes in them to run a bolt through and into the front of the bearing housings to locate and lock them in place.

throttle needs some work, could only get it to 3/4 before it hit spring bind on the rod. need a longer spring. if i ran it out, it wouldn't return and with no brakes that wouldn't be a good thing.
