    Lol you should make a forum group for people that have had you rebuild their carbs =). Not sure what the benefit would be, but it sounds cool!

    Man it purrs like a kitten too.

    Not too shabby for a trike that hasn't run in well over 5 years if the seller was to be believed.

    How she sits today.

    Anybody got a source for exhaust gasket rings? I've got a small cold leak.

    Here is the link for the muffler gasket -> http://www.partzilla.com/parts/detai...1-ML8-000.html

    Interesting placement on the wench, only down side I see is it will require hooking onto the trees fairly high up. However, it is a 3 wheeler, so it shouldn't really take too much to pull it out anyway.

    Making Progress!



    At idle it's still reading 14.6v so my calculations on wattage draw seem to be dead on.

    And she's done! Engine purrs, body is straight, lights work, transmission shifts, and the winch pulls.

    Now I'm thinking of hydro dipping it marine came.

    Or new plastics to bring back the red.

    Looking pretty good, reminds me a little of my goto machine except it's fenders are busted up. If you do go the route of replacing the fenders, I might be interested in the faded ones just for their added protection vs the fill your boot with mud - broken fenders I have currently lol.
