Silver soldered the exhaust pipes and cut them
Have to remake the carby, cut the mounting lugs at the wrong angle, carby sits sideways...bummer
Should be used to used to that it's not like the only part I have made twice ��

 

[Cogsy]

It looks almost ready to run. What's left to do (apart from the carby)?

 

[michael-au]

I have to work out what I am going to do about the electronic ignition, I don't have any thing as yet
I want to put a magnet in the front pully with a hall sensor

Thought I would Start final assembly of the engine only to find that when I went to time the cam it has either been cut wrong or Bobs instructions were not quit right or I read them wrong.
I have read and reread what he says and I keep coming up with he might have made a mistake, the instructions say to decide what end of the cam to cut off to install the gear on so I did this and now as far as I can see the timing is 180 degrees out, look from the other end of the cam it would seem to be timed right, but now the cam is to short to install a gear on that end.
Anyway the out come is I have to make another cam....bummer....another learning curve.
