Amazingly enough ZERO garage sodas or ANYTHING mind altering. PA laws are NUTS but I understand why they are NUTS… last drank an angry orchard cider way back in 2019 reminded me of sunny d in a way.

As for things like THC say I take one hit (JUST ONE) it automatically bars me from driving for weeks as if I’m pulled over and blood tested I would end up with a DUI and by that I mean not even impaired.

Just detectable in the system is a AUTO DUI.. And I need to be able to drive at a moments notice so I could never risk anything like that.

As for tobacco NO WAY

Now that I think of it that’s probably why I spend all day in the garage It’s something to do

Thin header tube is incredibly hard to weld.


It was only after I got it all welded up though I realized instead of a capped end I should have coned it to make it more dirt bike style expansion chamber like.

Ahh well it will dump the exhaust down below me and that’s really all I wanted.

Might want to wrap that with some header wrap.

Noted still lots to do but I’m mostly looking for a test run/ride before I finish up the small stuff.

Are chain tensioners reliable and can someone recommend one they have used or seen used.

I’m trying to fix an engineerding screw up and really don’t want a junky tensioner.

From now on anything I build gets the chain set before I weld stuff down.

We blame everything on Bobby around these parts so keeping with tradition


DANGIT BOBBY

You dont want the tentioner where your finger is.
It should be on the other side.

You could fab up a free wheel sprocket or just a roller from dirlin or a skateboard wheel might work.

Ive used the typical minibike tentioner for parts and made my own brackets too.

I don‘t know where else I can mount the tensioner.

They are cheap enough at $12 and I’m gonna try to mount it where my finger is and see what happens I guess. I’ll order two tensioners incase the one wrecks itself but mounting it anywhere else means I’m gonna have some most likely serious welding to do.

Moving on from that I need two small plugs to block off the primer ports on both sides of the intake. I need to go pickup some exhaust clamps as the previous owner of the sled cut them stripping the sled down.

And I’ll fit and finalize a fuel tank. Really a let down the engine has a walbro it’s a clean carburetor but has a return line to the tank so I’m gonna have to find a tank that has an inlet and an outlet.

I wear earplugs but my ears are ringing so bad I can’t stand to hear myself think. I have had it with just grinding welding and cutting paint fumes. I think I might take a couple weeks and just lay around.

Might be the last update on this thing for awhile. pictured below along with the tensioner I’ll be using is a Cotten swab that got the piece of metal out of my eyeball. I laid down flat held my eye open and my pops swabbed it out in one single swipe. (Thanks dad!!!) PS: I had glasses on. A full face mask is in order from here on out.

Weld a bung on the tank for an over flow.

Dont give up now. Your so close.

Put on your safety squints!
