    70 up and running!

    Well, I finally got the 70 running decently. The main jet was plugged; still doesn't run perfectly, but well enough for the boys to rip around the yard and proclaim it the greatest machine on earth! Question, should the header pipe be glowing red, or is my mixture off?

    I cleaned the jet out with a cutting torch cleaner after soaking it in carb cleaner; just get a bigger jet?

    Yeah, I thought about that. It backfires quite a bit; figured the timing may be a little off.
