found a little time to work on this machine again in between customer work.
found that after the 1st event that the trailmaster tank i used was hitting the swingarm pretty close to the petcock,because i already had it in mind to move the lower shock mounts back a bit to level out the swingarm i needed to find another tank or rethink how i had it mounted. i found another tank in my junk room. i t had a leak so i patched that up and we repainted it. this tank was alot shallower and the petcock was mounted far left so that killed two problems. i cut the shock mounts and moved them both back an inch. now we are in the process of rebuilding the motor, apparently the new oil pump we put in was failing explaining the overheating problem. i will be rewiring it soon enough just because it was done in a rush the night before the race and is not up to par as far as what i do, but it got us by.
