Another note is this puch with 31 miles on it that I picked up. From what I can tell its true milage because how clean all of the hidden spots where. I just fixed up a few issues, got rid of the 1hp cylinder and sold it. Yay.

Blah.......!
Fucking minarelli is pissing me off. No matter what I do I just cant get the right side of the cylinder to seal. Ive used all sorts of different gaskets, non hardening sealants and even RTV (bleh). Still.... Only thing I can figure is that the cylinder is interfering with the little raised section on the case. Soooo, im just going to pull the whole damn engine off tomorrow yank off the top end, remove the studs and just study it. I had no problem on the first kit sealing with the wimpy little paper gasket. Oh, another thing, the stupid aluminum head gaskets are only fucking good for one torque, I hope my copper ones are done soon.

My moped wants to kill me....
Seriously, shes trying to kill me and herself. First I go tearing down the road and hit the brakes....SHIT....no brakes. Apparently the fluid window chipped and leaked out all the fluid. Managed to get home and quickly swap out the unit from the garelli so I could commute 12 miles to work.
Today is my day off so I have been chasing leaks. The intake isnt sealing like it did on the old cylinder, gasket after gasket. I also found the base gasket to be leaking so I started pulling off the cooling system. Lo and behold I find the source of my crazy vibrations that turned up. Fuuuuuuuuuck. Especially fuck since chelsea's new job requires me to commute on the peds and now I have no functioning peds. Fuck.
Good news is that the tubing for the new line of intakes is done.....Sigh.

Me need your input!
Yes, I do. I have to roll out some new products.
If I were to hypothetically make some intakes for the malossi 4-petal reed blocks, what way would I point them. Would I make a hard right or left? Would I just make a slight turn, just to clear a tire with a long filter. What size, 19, 22.5, or 24?
Maybe if i were to a similar thing with a hobbit, how should I do it?
Is there some sachs lovers in the hood with kits? Which way would you you point a 19mm intake.
What else do you think at least 10 people would want...hmmmm
Please post your input on this, whoever is the 10th poster will get a super awesome intake or something like that...

Yesterday was productive, one armed men, tripeds, what more can you ask for.
Ah, I finally had a day off and got some ped stuff done! Yes!!! Started out with a guy I have named Triped Walt coming over for some help with his Pryer or Pryor moped, whatever. Just needed a quick carb clean, a proper plug, and some jetting. Interesting thing though, I have renamed the guy to One armed triped Walt! Turned out he only had one arm! He was a interesting guy and I got him going. By the way, riding a triped is fucking scary.
Also nate came by to button up his maxi, and for once is free of air leaks. We will see how long that lasts. Hmm, what else, stupid baretta is leaking at the base gasket. Damn that bike. The garelli is running awesome, that Malossi kit is dreamy, the heat prompted a down jet, running about 52mph. I need to throw Chelsea on it so I can hit 55!
I got some good news from Benji, you can go to treatland.tv, or look to the right hand side of this post.
Wrapped up the evening hanging out with Daniel and Mark, did some drinking, reckless riding, and some dart throwing. Ahh, I slept good afterwords.
