    Well I just finshed replacing the stopper paw on my 110 so on to the Big Red.
    I can't seem to get the shifter into neutral. It will go between a couple gears but not neutral. I haven't tried to start it yet because I have a new key switch on the way but will it even start in gear? Is there a way to trick it into thinking it is in neutral just to see if I can get it started?

    Update on my $100 Big Red-
    Haven't had much time lately so been doing what I can when I can. Started off by replacing the key ignition. I think it had been siting so long things were kinda sticky so I rocked it back and forth long enough to get it into neutral. Hit the start button and it turned over but no fire. Shot some starter fluid and a new plug and it ran for a couple seconds. Now that I know it will run I changed out all fluids. Tried to fire again and noticed exhaust coming out of the side of the header pipe connection. I took the two bolts out to check the spark arrestor and it basicly fell off. The exhaust was so plugged up it wouldn't stay running. After cuttin off the end of the canister and clearing the exhaust it would run but it was obvious it needed a carb rebuild. Tonight I finished the carb, put in fresh fuel and it runs like a champ. One problem - when it sits not running fuel drips out of the hose at the bottom of the bowl. Is the float sticking open? What did I do wrong during the rebuild?
