Quick walk around vid along with a test ride.

first 3 clips of the running you can hear it misfiring, ignition + wire connector slipped apart. Felt soggy and could hear it sputtering then it died on me. Added fuel, no dice, found the wire loose, plugged it back together and off she went. last two clips sounds and felt much healthier.

And pertinent to a recent discussion regarding stators and regulators/rectifiers, this is running an 8 pole stator and flywheel with the small gray 6 pole regulator ..... It sacrificed its life's smoke to the demon god Lucas in short order.

Otherwise, very pleased with it, nice and tight up front, rear springs are a bit stiff. didn't want to do much more than a few loops, ground was very soft . well wanted to, but didn't want to muck things up LOL.
