Here's the first drive

The Good-It made it out of the shop & back in on it's own power
It's worth the effort to finish making it a fully functioning "Fun Machine". It definitely goes as fast as a Gy6 powered kart with good climbing ability (no fear of belt slippage on our very steep hills).Seats are very comfortable, the ride isn't that bad.
The bad- motor needs crank seals as it doesn't idle properly & the throttle doesn't go to idle when you let off.The steering wheel is way too far forward for a grown person.The differential doesn't let you do donuts
which is what the kid's/guest are constantly wanting to do.Roll cage is too low for my 7' friend (1" clearance).Needs a stiffer driven spring.Still has tons of work left to do to it!
