    Not dead. Just extremely busy..... didn't end up going out to the farm for footage, and now I'm chasing down a spark problem. Hopefully I get some time to dig into it more in a couple weeks. There's a race on June 11th I'd love to make it to, but I don't know if I'll have a machine together
    Being an adult sucks! If any one needs me I'll be in my footie pajamas playing with Legos while watching GI joe....

    hopefully it's just somethin easy to fix. Hopefully you can get to the race and get footage that way...

    She lives!
    I have no idea what the actual problem was. I tore apart the whole wiring harness, replaced a couple connectors that were probably fine but I wasn't totally happy with, and put it back together and it came to life. So in conclusion, I don't know what I did but I'M GOING RACING!

    I never touched the pickup coil when I built the motor, but I've learned my lesson. I will check every single bolt on an engine that Is unknown to me. .....
    I'll finish putting it together tonight, hopefully ride it this weekend without any problems! .....hopefully. ...

    This project has been fun, but has had way too many headaches. Hopefully I'm working the last of the kinks out!

    Thanks guys for the encouragement and advice in this build!
    Atc 500x for the win! (Hopefully.... one day)

    Yup...... that's the cam.... I did get about 3 fun hours of ride time on it before the cam sprocket bolts worked loose. Well I have a new cam and I'm tearing the engine back down to flush the little bits of metal and I'm going to loc tite EVERYTHING going back together. I had no idea this motor would rattle itself apart so bad! Anyway. As usual I'm tearing it all back apart 4 days before a race haha. .. hopefully I'll get to race.

    Anywho, I just got new forks of the unbent variety and a mikuni vm34 to install when going back together. I'm fairly happy with how it's running but I think this carb will work better. Pics tonight or tomorrow!

    New carb. I like it much better than my pj knock off (it was free) I'm ticked off at the ebayer that I got the forks from. He shipped them with one upside down in the box. I know the box probably didn't stay right side up but one fork was fine and the other leaked all the oil out.... for this race I'll just put more oil in it but it's kinda irritating.
