Yeah, Brian claims to be one of, if not the first to balance a chopper. He's in Terre Haute, Indiana. All-Tran Transmission.

Anywho, yes, 8hp motor. Yeah, when I get done with the chassis stuff, I'll dive into the engine. At the moment, either need to clean out, or find another fuel tank. This one is full of rust. May have a hole in it.... I dunno. Didn't really look. It will get all tuned up and running good.

I'm sure that ol' 8hp isn't going to be pleasant to start. They did offer an electric start on them. I figure it won't be any harder than any other rope start motor is. All the load disengages, so it's not like you have to roll anything along with starting is, except a jackshaft.
