    Is there anyone in this forum?

    Anyways. Put her all back together and boy these things have some grunt. Chain was pretty rusty so it banged a lot. Put some chain lube on it and it helped a lot. Just got some banging every once in awhile. Need to order a new chain. Had a blast driving around my pool area (aka wanna be test track) and she sounded great.

    Going to change out all fluids and do some prettying up of the plastics. My son is gonna love this thing out in the Desert trip coming up in less than 2 weeks.

    Found out the Red Rover has a Keihin PZ18 carb on it. Bowl gasket leaks. Bought a rebuild kit for it and will put this one on the Blue Rover which has a bad stock carb. Bought a new 20mm PZ18 for the Red Rover.

    Ok, got the 20mm Keihin carb today as well as a rebuild kit for my other Keihin. Apparently there are multiple CVK type carbs out there as neither slow or main jets fit that I bought.

    The carb I bought came with spare jets. I put the largest main on it (95) and it already has a 37 pilot in it. Will report back later. Time to go to work.

    Installed the new carb. Fired right up. Great acceleration from stop. I'm happy.

    Only thing is right after I changed the oil to 15/40 which was recommended, it started to smoke from the pipe. I am wondering if I should just drain it and put 10/30 in it. Would putting too much oil, make it smoke? I checked the level and it was spot on but it's at angle, so you can see the oil right at the opening. Suggestions?

    Spent all day getting the Rovers ready for the Desert. Rubber Foamed and Taped all the roll bars. Rebuilt the Keihin carb for the Blue Rover. Shortened and welded the Blue Rover Pedals, now they are back to stock. Oil changed on the Blue Rover.

    Still got some smoke on the Red Rover but too late to try and fix that. I see smoke coming from the CVT Cover Vent too. I'm pretty sure I put too much oil in it when I first changed the oil as I has the rear raised and it was dark so I didn't realize it. Most likely blew a seal somewhere.

    I'll deal with those issues after the trip.

    Last post here. Kind of a pain to have to resize my pics, then can only post 5 at a time. Plus, not much activity here. Anyways, wanted to finish off my thread. Enjoy the posts and pics all.
