How she looks now. doesnt look like much. i built it to be the AK-47 of slicks. simple, no frills, and reliable.

Engine as it sits now. the pot I had over the carb became the air cleaner cover. You can also see the bellcrank throttle linkage.

Another engine picture. Choke tube runs along the top of the exhaust manifold and then goes to the air cleaner.

do not, i say again, do not reverse the pickup wires. it will not run, but it will have spark, and it will confuse the heck out of you.

Hey...it might not look like much, but if it's as reliable as the sun rising in the east everyday, who cares what it looks like!
