It seems like I'm not the first to learn these lessons, but they were learned much easier because of this forum!
Ten reasons why my next build will start w/ an engine ONLY (hopefully the DAX GP50)
#1 2 words: Rag joint
#2 Crappy spark plug, boot and ignition wire
#3 El cheapo fuel line and filter which disintegrated after 5 hours run time
#4 Velveeta Chain
#5 The infamous "spoke buster" chain tensioner
#6 Clutch perch... threads stripped the first time mounted (hand tools only)
#7 Nuts, bolts and screws which I can only assume came from 40 year old cracker jack boxes....
#8 Soda can, I mean gas tank
#9 gaskets that aren't even the same shape as the intake/exhaust ports
and #10 The problem solving process makes the ride WAY more fun!!!
Ride safely!
