Yes, very glad. As this is my first foray into these little engines, and not knowing that the aftermarket parts support is so robust, I was both hooked on the possibilities and disenchanted with some of the initial discoveries. But it reminds me of my first experience with Shovelheads back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth... I thought they were garbage. But I fell in love with that bike and it taught me so much, patience being among them. Now Shovels are my preferred motor and I build them bullet proof and leak free. I just needed to take the same approach with these mini-monsters. And, they sure are easy and cheaper to build. I could end up with more motors than things to put them in.
Oh Man! That is a thing of beauty. So clean and essential! I love a kick-start and the mag just makes it that much more amazing. Well done! And thanks for sharing it.
So I'm in good company and will have no guilt about having engines needing homes. You are so right... I have as much and maybe more fun building them. Once it's done, I'm thinking about another - what can be different, paint that or chrome this, different combos of internals and induction, etc. It's a zen for sure.
I'm in the same boat right now as you and Pancho. I have motors built up and nothing to put them on right now. Building them is the best part. I'll be looking for a kart now that the weather is warming up some. It was almost 70 yesterday and 50-60's till thursday and then below freezing and snow for the weekend.
Michigan weather for ya!
