This was built from the ground up...quite literally. I completely rebuilt the motor (new seals, bearings, crank), treated and sealed the rusty tank, etc. Got the 70cc Treats Kit since it seemed somewhat ideal for a newb. It's not running yet. Hopefully that'll change this week when I get the uber important woodruff key for the flywheel (I sheared the first one thanks to me not torqueing down the flywheel nut....it's running now!

Hey Josh, I've got a very similar build, looking to guidance on jetting. How do you have this tuned? Elevation, humidity, etc. What gearing are you running? Power bands, rpm and speeds?

Thanks! It's actually a Rustoleum color. I think it's called Moss Green?

Paint is rad. Is that the factory green?
