Figured I'd make an update- I broke the fuel supply tubes (old & brittle) on the carb's after cleaning them to test my drive shaft wobble. Figured I better see if the homemade shaft drive wasn't going to self-distruct at higher rpm's before spending more time and effort on the swingarm design. I should have done some research on these carbs before jumping right in on the cleaning and would've learned not to remove the plenum untill the carbs were off the engine. Live and learn!! Found an individual online that started making the fuel tubes since they've been discontinued for years. So as soon as I get the new ones the build is stalled out.
The weather has been so nice this winter I'm not getting anything done anyways!!! Lot's of playtime very little fabricating,LIFE IS GOOD
