They used a beer can for a tape measure and came up a little bit tight.

Hey Pizzamaker,
That is one great looking find, hope you don't have too much in it.

If it does indeed pull wheelies, it's good that all you hang onto is a string, the g-force on the hand going back means you'll probably be able to give it slack at the right time. don't want to go all the way over.
I don't mean to hijack your post so don't take this wrong but my Buddy in the HOOD say's you have some rebuilds and I am going to be looking for one. Seems I had trouble reading my dipstick. So I either rebuild it myself or find one done. any input would be appreciated.
. hi-jack part...
Hey Kedge,

thanks for the offer but if something happened to your cart I would feel real bad. Then I would have two to fix. I think the wife and I are going to go up to Larwence on Sat, I am going to call on the guy up there and see what he has available. Your a top notch guy,

Thanks, Kent

well it comes down to how bad it is, the crankshaft will need work for sure. and if a rod broke? what else did it wipe out, there are rebuild kits that comes with all the parts. to build it right you will most likely need to bore the cylinders, replace the valve guides and cut the valve seats. which is not part of the kit. the complete rebuild kit runs about 600.00 or so from the sponsors.

thanks for askin'
