Made the longest trip tonight,  probably a mile,  no brake lights yet,  but it is cool to drive,  I like the feel,  low to the ground

dang nabit,went to take it for a little cruise today and the crank case is full of gas, guess when i was messing with the lights the electric fuel pump was running and overflowing the float bowl.  man this simple project has been a pain.

The bright side of this is you will end up with a VERY CLEAN crankcase (ask me how I know  ;) ).  Just be sure and change your oil a couple of times at closer than normal intervals to get all the crap the gas cuts loose out of the engine before it does a lot of damage.

Dude I have a couple of electric pumps that are the correct ones.
You either need to come by and get one before you have to buy an engine from me, or get a regulator...

I'm not sure if its the pumps fault or the carburetor,  the pump is wired to the coil.  Def want to get the right set up
