Thanks man! I will. Just need to find a place not covered by 3 feet of snow to run it!

velcro along edge to button it up firmly and keep junk out

Remember that suggestion, Pheerider? I did it with industrial strength Velcro and it's just great! I can lift the whole buggy by the cutout windows of the body! Thanks!

As soon as possible. Still a lot of snow on the ground in Western Mass and I'm working on the custom roll cage.

We got a little break from the weather. But guess what, the pullstart gives up on the day I could actually run it. Ordered a new one, better rope, aluminum pawl. I can't use the TR pullstart due to clearance with side pipe. Was supposed to be delivered yesterday so I can try today, but nope USPS got it delayed. LOL!

Oh well, at least I got to start working on the roll cage.

 

[phreerider]

definitely tight by the pipe, roll cage gonna be nice . spring is coming!

 

[designed2survive]

Received the engine. Ordered 9500 rpm spring too, but unfortunately it was not in the box.

 

[designed2survive]

Roll cage is done! Sunday should be a nice day. Time to try that G320.

 

[phreerider]

box of good stuff there man!

 

[designed2survive]

Thank Pheerider! Since I didn't receive the 9500 rpm, I'll be using the 8k spring from my 30.5 for now.

On a side note, I'm debating if I should have a second loop behind the spark plug on the roll cage.

 

[phreerider]

turn it upside down and see. looks good from here

I did and the top of the central hoop and the top of the rear tower are both above the spark plug, protecting it. I was just worried about the buggy landing first on the space between those two points. May be I'll run a bar between the center of the hoop and the center of the rear tower or just leave it the way it is.
