No, I purchased the tires in a white wall. They are DOT rated to 60 MPH. I do not paint tires. I stole the idea from I believe Tote Gote Trav or one of the Gote guys. Pretty cool tires. Also put a set on my last Tote Gote. Scooter tires.
Someone could post the link of the carb adapter for the pod filters. Markus answered the question though, any Tillotson HL carburetor adapter will bolt up to the Tec, and a pod filter clamped to it.
The guy I was referring to did not leave in disgust, he simply moved on. Cant sell too many brand new Tec long blocks, when he needed $400 to end up right with it, and a Predator is less than a hundred bucks. Only dumbshits like me buy them at that price. :laugh:
