Its been a while since the lastb update, and I have nothing g to show you right now.
I've hung up on scrounging an appropriate filler neck and cap for the fuel tank.
It's the last niggly little piece of the build, and I haven't been able to find a good weld in unit that is free/ cheap.
I tried cutting one out of a stock Honda clone tank but it didn't work out. I need some thing smaller.

Got the fuel tanks built, pressure tested, painted and installed.

Fires right up, as a brand new engine should. Seems to be geared too tall, have to rev the nuts off it to get it rolling. I'm betting it would hit the 60 mph top end, but it will take time.

But, does it blend? Just kidding lol. I like the little features that you have like the diamond plate and the red hubs. Good attention to detail.

Yes, it's a simple centri clutch jackshaft setup. One forward, no reverse.
Ratio changes require removing the chain guard, and changing out the jackshaft sprocket, and chain. I can go up about 3/4" in radius on the JS sprocket to get a quicker ratio.
I built a baffle for the exhaust, it was way too loud and bogging too much. So far its working well
