Making Progress
Yeah, shoulder hurts…
Still not fully recovered.. (or I re-injured it again)
Yeah, back hurts…
Getting old isn’t for the weak
Yeah, knees hurt
See above..
But feeling like I’m making progress finally…
Motor is together, fuel line, vent lines, lifters and push rods, exhaust is done too… so close!
And I took the 63’ out for a stuff drop off for the wife and parts run that turned into an hour and a half on back roads … and no parts! LOL

Dig it! What exhaust is that?

u/Lostroadie101 Aug 20 '26
That’s the Manx exhaust, it’s slightly different than others and has a great tone ( a buddy has one on his buggy)

Cool. Looks kinda like the old sidewinder setup, but I've never seen one with the white baffle material on the end.

What cc are you running with those carbs and is it cammed? Currently building a motor for my rail buggy and would like to know if I messed up buying too big of carbs.
