I took it out to the race this weekend. (I help run an off-road racing series) so fare it is working better than it ever has.

This picture makes me reailize that the Willys Jeep is the original side by side.  ;D

Next I am going to start on some of the body work but for this weekend it's my transportation around the race track.

It almost looks out of place next to these off-road monsters.

I made a linkage adjustment to the starter and it worked fine all weekend. Every once and a while it would grind but it worked a lot better. I'll get it a new starter gear just to be on the safe side.

Test results from this weekend reveal that it's having trouble starting when cold. It would have fire and gas but not want to start up. Two mornings I had to give it a small sniff of carburetor cleaner to fire up. After that it would run fine all day. I'm thinking a new set of plugs should help out.

Also it was spilling oil out of the air breather after some of the rougher roads. Is this normal?

All in all everything went very well. It looks like I will be ready to start on some of the body work after a few changes.
