Here's a quick test run-The clanging sounds are the aluminum axle spacers-

The engine runs perfect untill I set in the buggy! Didn't realize this till the test run today and it flooded out, took it back in the shop jacked it up and it's running perfect again. I did a few elevation experiments to find I need a different set of shocks,shock bracket change or I need to raise the front of the engine more (maybe 1/2"-3/4").I mounted the engine level with the swingarm. The float in the carb is plastic and not adjustable. Feels very strong so far!!! I did get 3rd gear once for a second or two!!!! This engine is a great match for this chassis.
