[QUOTE="topgun15v, post: 223668, member: 4137"] Thanks everyone. Yes I actually just got back from Lake Lavon. It was very low and hard to launch today. A few things I noticed while I had it out. 1. I took the GPS and this 4hp only got my friend and I moving at 8.5mph. I thought that would be faster than it actually was, so I was pretty disappointed. 2. I think my fuel pump or carbs are going out. The engine started stalling after a while and would just die out. I pumped the ball and started it back up and it would work again for a bit and then stall. 3. I need a trailer to launch this thing easily, it is very heavy with the motor and ice chest full =) . That other Crawdad build I checked out before building mine. I like his, but his green carpet is ugly =P , or I should say just not my style. Yes, I do have many other pics of the build, I just need to get around to posting them. Sorry. My bike is a 1973 Suzuki GT 185cc. It only has 1,800 original miles on it. The only problem is it came from FL where I used to live, and gas was left in the tank. Yup you guessed it, a rusted out tank.... I have been saying for over 10 years I am going to rebuild it, just don't have the time or money. I like your bike too. [/QUOTE]
