It's got the torque and gearing lol. The carb is very responsive, perfect for a stock flathead

Grips showed up and actually fit. both are 25mm (1") . $7 on amazon .

I had to shorten that.

Kill switch operational, and you always have the backup ziptie on the lead.

I learned from past snowbike experience, that the carbs like to ice up on the 5hps, and carbs
with external linkages stick open, so Im hoping the slide carb prevents all that. Really need
to tape up the blower housing some or make a more elaborate solution to direct hot air over
the carb.

Need more long 5/8 bolts. But the frames all bent. Just 2 more for the handlebars.
30' of 1/2in black pipe is being used for the construction.

Was trying to build the pop mechanics tom thumb bike
but Its turned out too big. Still gonna be 2 cycle. And it
is still quite small.

What, is the 3.5 fl/lbs of the 79cc pred not thrilling enough?

Briggs 5hp muffler, and 3d printed an air filter adapter.
