So the day finally came to start this "mild mannered" beast up. Check the video on YouTube.
Didn’t have any manners at all. Haven’t put it in gear yet but pretty sure I’m gonna have major traction issues. After the muffler shop recommended by Karl
(Krazykuda) quiets it down and the spring perches get welded in I’ll get it aligned and check how much it weighs. For sure I’ll recheck the pinion angle too.
