Thanks Leon,

It's definitely nice knowing that you built it and it makes it all the sweeter! :whistle:

Next time it is getting updated suspension front and rear.

Well took it out for the first test ride tonight. WOW! That baby runs and it probably needs that carbs synched. I am having problems with the fuel filter not filling with gas. Don't know why?

Also I have a leak from the bottom of the engine somewhere that might be a problem. I am getting oil on the rear tire while under speed.

i would think a restriction in your tank or petcock would have to be restricting the fuel to keep the filter from filling.

i wonder if maybe the o-ring got nicked or something when you re-installed the new filter and is causing the oil leak? :huh:
