      Glad you're digging it Fred. It looks like I will be doing the B3 swap sooner than planned. I overdid it on the way home and shot most of the oil out of the breather box, almost set it on fire. Ordered the parts to put the B3 I have in this week.

        Yeah! Oh dang! That's not good! But it'll be nice having a fresher engine in.

                Haha Thanks DK. I'll fab up a better intake and relocate the batt or get a smaller one so the intake routes there.

                Hmmm, I bet! I'd always run 70-75 back and forth to work in it, it would always run good for me just used a little oil.

                          Congrats Fred, i figured you would like the new power, sad to hear the b3 taking a dive.
