VERY clean install - this is better than many do after dozens of gas engine setups! And this is your first!!!!!!!! Well Done! [sm=thumbs_up.gif]

Choke rod is very nice... but will get sawn in two in short order from vibration. I'd overdrill the hole, and stick a grommet in there, or a thin piece of fuel tubing on the carbon rod, maybe? A little friction won't hurt, and you'll want to dampen vibes.

Correct on the Vess, and the longer bolts... I think my longer ones are 45mm for mine.... fortunately, the Vess hub is standard, so even the 23" is the same. One set of "extra" bolts is all you'll need.

Great looking install, Wayne... really!
