Thank you Terry

Well done, looks as if a lot of time was spent building the buggy.

Hi Bugger,

What type of gearbox oil would you recommend?

Got my service parts today, plus this beaut...

Took of the cylinder heads, cleaned the heads and valves, replaced the push rod tubes, adjusted the valve clearance.

Painted the shroud, generator, intake and exhaust, replaced the belt, distributor and fitted the new carburetor.

New spark plugs, adjusted the timing.

Still not idling as it should, but I will tweak the carb to get it right.

A video of it running - and me revving the nuts of it (I could not help myself):

You can hear in the end the kids love it too.

Nice well done.

Hi Bugger,

Auto Zone sell a Castrol 80/90 gear oil that is good

To do List:

Re-install seats and side steps;

Adjust and bleed brakes (and handbrake)
