i did some practice for the first time at the races. no real racing for the ciao. more starting trouble. the drill sends the variator flying apart. as far as i can tell, once the engine starts it spins faster than the drill for a second and loosens the nut and then… the variator explodes in pieces all over, and i loose stuff and have to borrow things from dean. broken pull start ropes, bad ropes, slippery ropes, i did get a polini pull start handle out of it so that was a big win for team awsome. ridding the track is intense, whoa! and on the ciao it suckers, no suspension is bad, slippery tires are bad. not wanting to crash is bad. so i got a few new ideas for next time. i already paid my fees so i might as well go out and have fun practicing. new things to come. . .

No drill starts 09! So how do you start it? I started mine with the rear tire of another moped running on the flywheel…But I need something a little easier. Ever thought of seeing if a machine shop could install a decomp?
