No, like smoking cigarettes but he smokes the plug caps instead
Lol but no he just breaks them when he rolls over

Was such a failure of a day went out to the 1/5 track and not a whole happened. Where a bunch of club members but nothing official happened. Then got the 65 out for a bash. Car wasn't reving to max so I was " wtf" noticed the bolt in the head where the decompression valve sits was a tad lose. Bubbles coming out tightened that up....no joy. Stater rope came out the handle ....fixed that. Car still playing up finally spotted the one stop collar was missing a grub screw on the throttle linkage and didn't have a spare on hand ......called it quits. Was a long day of nothing

 

[Seandonato73]

Well that just sucks.

 

[DougStar]

Yeah did suck but I was pleased that in the end it was just a stop collar being the issue and I guess its my fault for not taking a backup car could be a lot worse no names or builds mentioned

Well that just sucks.

 

[DougStar]

Got a speed reading on the 65

 

[Z.hb71]

for a 65cc id think it would be faster 47mph for a 65cc seems lowconsidering bonehead did 70 on a 40 not trying to bust your balls by the way.

 

[DougStar]

Yeah wasn't trying for anything just on the field bashing

 

[DougStar]

Went out a few weeks back and could not work out why I was not get any acceleration out of the 65 turned i was missing a grub screw on a stop collar before I noticed i had started adjusting the carb to see if it was the problem . fast-forward to Saturday had it out loctite on the stop collars started resetting the needles everything going great and then this never a good thing when you are going faster than your wheels

 

[DougStar]

Ok so I need to make a decision on what to do about my body on this build the hood is cracked and major paint peel happening the side panels both have big cracks + tail lights nearly off.
I was trying for cf from xifo but he is MIA. Do I buy a new kraken cage or 299 or a 2strokers cage?
If you wanna see damage give me 5 coz I'm still in bed
