Ok, current problem...carb hits the tank fuel outlet.
I stretched the frame 2", forward of the tank, the tank stayed back, close to the seat. I have a tall cylinder engine which puts the carb 6mm farther forward than the stock motor. I'm also using a VM20 carb which is taller than the stock carb. I'm pretty sure my intake is the dratv left turnout...24mm at the carb end, and about 20mm at the engine end. And...the carb hits the tank. The rearmost, ON outlet comes down on top of the choke/primer knob. There is room to move the carb straight down, or maybe farther back. I
I need to... cut the intake to lower the carb, about ¼". Add a spacer or thicker insulator at the carb/intake joint to push the carb back, maybe ½". Relocate the tank outlet. Different intake or carb.
I decided to cut/lower the intake.
I jigged it up and and first tried the disc sander...not the best. Then I made a cut on the table saw, and went back to the sander...the sander just wasn't getting it done. So I made another cut on the table saw, then just cleaned it up with some 320 grit on a flat table top.
