How far off are you from completely rebuilding it? A few week to a few months. Depends on the shape of the universe | |

| It was originally a keep busy winter project to use up some old junk laying around.
It was to be a racer till the local sanctioning body said no, with out serious mods.
It will go forward fast and stable, no reverse.
Best application is full bore mowercross. Its got no gears, just a clutch and sprockets.
I'll probably give it to my nephews or trade it for something.
I'll take it for a test rip up the alley, and might be able to borrow some land for some serious testing.
recent medical situations have come up that limit my fun
Still recovering from hernia surgery. | |

| Sorry, no I don't. ButI DO have some more pics Engine is in. Ita's a 13hp Honda GX390 Clone, sold by Princess Auto. The driveline is connected and adjusted. Steering is in and tight, but not set yet.  The U-joints are 3/4" shaft keyed joints on high strength 3/4" shaftsI drilled through the U-Joints and shafts and installed grade 5 bolts in double shear instead of keys. These are way bigger than the ones I installed in the Cobra  The arse end  | |

| Newer Rear Tires. Dunlop KT877A. Cost me 40 bucks, but still cheaper than the alternative.  Dashboard is in, and most of the wiring is complete. Will need to change out the ignition switch with one that has a powered terminal when the key is on. but still has a closed connection when the key is off to kill the engine. Red light is low oil indicator (no engine kill). The toggle switch is for the lights. It lights up when the lights are on. Still have to drill a 2-1/16" hole for the voltmeter.  The underside of the dash  Front end with the stock front tires and rims. The rims are the original finish, with a coat of clear.  | |

| Got some work done  Got the new tires mounted and installed. Cost me 18 bucks each to have the old tire removed, and the new one mounted. 20 buck a piece for tires with 85% tread left, plut 18 bucks each to mount, and I still got a good deal. getting Side panels painted, I've been having trouble getting good coverage on some of the old painted parts, even after a good scuffing and chemical cleaning, stripping parts to bare steel helped a bit but not much  Picked up a new battery, smaller than I wanted, but this thing has no electric extras, so it should be fine. It will fit in the space provided.  Installed the voltmeter gauge.  Also got some work done on the air intake | |

| You've done a great job so far, but your building heavy duty I see , so I'm just wondering, will the 6.5 horse be enough? | |
