I was literally minutes away from putting the reeds on ebay when dabble inn pointed me to this thread. Theres 1 other set on Ebay right now with 4 watchers for like $100 plus shipping. Seems excessive lol

Make me an offer over $400 and this beauty can be yours lol (just kidding, pm me an offer and we can work something out. I'd much rather help someone here than put it on Ebay)
Good deal those reed cages are hard to come by. If anybody finds this thread and just need new reeds I have a set in box, carbon fiber, will sell. Thanks

I'll be dropping off the reeds today at the post office. Hopefully that's the last piece of the puzzle you need to get it up and going :)

so I've had to do a full tear-down. Piston was half gone, cylinder was cracked....new parts coming.

Question: Should there be a gasket where the crankcase splits? There wasn't one, but feels like there should be one there. I don't see anything on the parts diagram/list.

No gasket. Use a fuel proof sealer.

Glad you got it going! Sounds like a mess. At least my disaster of an ezgo was able to help save at least one cart from death :) hopefully all the other parts I shipped out from this thing were able to save others as well. Enjoy!
