Cheap Thrills

Built this a few days ago. Broke one of the original welds on the bike frame. Fixed that tonight and have been trying to get it running right. Gonna have to try another carb tomorrow. It idles around pretty good and I have gotten it to rev up a few times. Starts real easy too. Notice the main mixture adjustment handle lol... Also the shifters are pretty cool on this bike. Ohh and I only had to weld one little tab onto the bicycle frame so the motor can easily be removed and the bike can be ridden like normal.

Bike is working pretty good now. Swapped the carb with one i had in a junk box and it runs good but I think I fouled the spark plug. Need to mess with the tuning jets to make sure i'm not running rich. That should solve the fouled spark plug problem. Checked it next to a car and i was going 25+. I have driven the car and the speedo doesn't seem to read right. The car has larger then stock wheels and tires. Car said 25 but it could have been closer to 30MPH! I'll try and get a video of the bikes operation. Maybe more detailed pics if anyone would like.
Thanks,
GeoGhettooooooo

Set of a distance on the ground and go the same speed over it. Time it and then do some math and you get MPH. There is more to this, but I'm a little tired.
