The only thing that concerns me is will the big tank fit with the starter bracket attached to the sise of the block?

And Buckeye if I get the carb working right it may go on the scooter for some summer fun.

That would be cool. Electric start and all.
I want a electric start bike one day. That will have to wait until I get electricity in my garage. Can't do much fab work with power tools with extension cord power. Who the hell builds a garage without power anyway??
