 So do I see mounts in the back for a removable rack of something? over the spare tire.

Hey Gary,
 It's a homemade kit fabbed by a buddy of mine 15+ years ago. Fan is electric always on with the ignition, oil filter is stock without the 90* adapter.

Thanks Ed, It sounds the best it ever has, and runs like never before!

Sorry, I made it "public" please try again, 1st time sharing a video clip(obviously)

Ok I got the engine all done and dialed in for now.

Hey Mike when your ready to take your buggy out for a test run, let us know, we could probably find a group to cruise around with you and see some sites.

    Mark 1856 has asked for a copy of the minutes for the general membership Board of Directors Meeting held at the Manx on the Banx event. I do not have the access to post in the area he did so I will post  here. I returned from North Carolina late night Sunday 10/14/12, I have been working on the ...

Ok the verdict is in, #5 intake seat went to junk, piston hit it and metal shaving's in cylinders 1 & 3.

Yes I'll be going reverse rotation. I won't be able to start the chassis project until I finish her towd (some time next year) I'll let you when the conferr chassis is available.

Yes Gary I'm going to have a whole new chassis made up by Dave Barrett, this old Conferr chassis has been used hard and has a lot of patched up spots, I just added some supports to the front because the tunnel cracked under the body flange and the front end almost broke off.

I wouldn't be surprised to find the issue to be a valve seat, I was pushing it real hard trying to get up a tricky hill with my clutch slipping (vair trans with 31" tires) when it started making noise and missing. It then developed a small, occasional metal type noise on that side, all the spar...

No I have not tore into the 80hp motor yet to see what failed, This is a spare 110hp I had laying around that I am focusing on for the rebuild. The blown motor had 0 compression in #5, 100psi-cyls 2&4, 125psi-cyls 1,3 & 6. and a little bit of clanging noise.

The battery could have a poor internal connection, it will show good voltage but not be able to carry the amperage needed to turn the engine over. I've had several AC Delco batteries do this to me in the past so I quit using them.
