I need to thank Marty for lending me a coil and module. I think the module is kaputt because as soon as I swapped it, I got a big fat spark. It was the last thing I tried though.

It runs, Ahahahahahahahaha!

I need to find a decent camera tbh. My Fuji camera isn't the best for taking videos. It overwhelms the mic but i'm not surprised as it only has a down pipe on. I turned it around 180° so that it blows out of the garage doors instead of into the garage.

No one has complained about the noise, yet. smile

That disk is looking wonky - might want to take it out of gear!

Its just drag. Nothing to worry about. I've not tightened the bearings yet as I need to borrow a 27 or 30mm deep socket, Mine don't fit.

You mean for the hub nut!? I've still got mine from 20 years ago, it's like one of those things that just stays with you. I've had no need for it all that time until I started on Gilfy.
