Come to think of it, I believe I had to convert the video that my camera takes into .avi format before I could use movie maker.

And glad you found the issue. It would have been snappier, but slower with the sprockets on there the other way.

I'll have to try that. Because the videos were saved as QuickTime formats. Stupid camera and taking video in a crappy format!

I live in Howell, which is 35-40 minutes south of you. My Uncle lives in Burton in the corner of Bristol and Grand Traverse in those houses there. I got it from him. It's been identified as a 1967 Lil' Indian Sabre.

I got the video done. I'm uploading now to youtube.

Here ya go. I plan on getting a better, cooler video put up. This is just to show it moving. My next video is to get a car involved, driving along next to it, checking speed. Should be fun.

LOL! That would be nuts. But, somehow, I don't think this little 5hp will push 31's.

that's why it's always great to have a digital camera handy when you're ripping something apart.

double down on the t-cases to increase your torque use.

it'll make your 5hp seem like 6 when you're done!





or you could just add one of these....................
