Rick's Mark V Roadster Build

[danmas]

Couple of things: on the socket wrench to remove the filler plug. Yeah. Been there. I asked myself the question in my head about six times until I figured I would try a socket wrench. You don’t know if you don’t know but now you know, you know? It’s part of the journey.

Overflow… yep. Same issue. I ended up going with an aftermarket tank and crafting a bracket. Mine is centered near the center line of my fan. Check my build thread if you want details.


Regarding the first start. Feel your pain.
I’m no expert but it sounds to me like the starter is turning over but not engaging the flywheel…. Did you install the starter and is it the right nose length to engage your motor? Does it come out if you energize it?
