That also belonged to my stepdad and I picked it up when I picked Papa Doc up. I haven't had a chance to work on it yet, but I'll eventually get around to tooling around with it!

What's the story with the Kawasaki?
I would love to happen upon a vintage two stroke dual sport; I think I'd be a hoot to be on a ring-dinger again!

Just letting everyone know I'm still around. We had to move out of state for a few years and have less room than we did before, so Papa Doc is currently in storage. Planning on taking him for a spin next time I'm back home, making sure everything is still running well. I put fuel stabilizer in the tank before I drove him to the storage place, and only run ethanol free so hopefully my fuel system will stay clean as long as I run him a few times a year when we go back home.

Thanks! I didn't want to leave it looking fresh welded rough. Just didn't fit in with the whole look of PD. I was glad I found a paint color that was close enough for government work!

Had a buddy of mine who's in the new hinge bracket for PD's tailgate. Of course, it looked pretty rough. A little Rustoleum Matte Hammered Copper, dry time, and some 220grit sandpaper to knock the shine off and you can barely tell unless you get up on it!

When I installed my Carter carb from Scoutpilot, I had forgotten to install the "accelerator linkage carburetor spring tab", so I've just had the accelerator spring looped over a nut on the carb. Well I finally got the spring tab installed, and also installed a new throttle cable since the old one was measured and cut to fit the Solex I had. It'll be nice to be able to use it sometimes, haha!

Thank you! It was a fun little project to do while waiting for my brake parts to come in!

I'd love to be able to go! Unfortunately, with my wife and I both being nurses, we're pretty dadgum busy with work. My wife's working a contract right now and I'm trying to get on one as well to make some extra money. I am hoping to make it in the next couple years. I also need to do more off road testing. I've had issues with fuel uptake (top draw polymer tank) so I need to know where "empty" is when there's still fuel in the tank. Also need to get PD wired. Tons to do and not near enough time to get it all done!

I thought you had either disappeared of the face of the earth or sold Papa Doc. Good to see you are still in the game...
Keep in mind that there is a Willys Rush coming up at Rush Springs Ranch near Noel, Missouri this April 22. Good chance to exerchise Papa Doc and meet fellow jeepers. Information thread: https://www.thecj2apage.com/forums/willys-rush-rush-springs-ranch-missouri2022_topic50493.html You wouldn't have to trailer far from the Tulsa area. |

Been a while since I've been active here! Thought I'd drop in and let y'all know that Papa Doc is going strong! Runs great and drives as well as can be expected! I do have to keep a close close eye on the fuel level. With the fuel tank being a top pull, whenever I'm not level and the tank is low, I have standard low fuel problems. But that's ok! I just keep a close eye on the fuel! I still haven't gotten around to wiring. Maybe this summer I'll roll that ball. Anyway, just wanted to give y'all an update!

Took my brother for a jeep drive last night and started having some bogging down issues again. However, PD seemed to be stopping very quickly when I would push the clutch in. So I think my brakes are dragging. PD has had a disk brake conversion on all 4 corners. It seems to be focused in the rear (judging from the smell and the rotors are much darker, like they got hotter than the front). So I'm going to pull the rear tires and see if I can't figure out what's up.

Been taking it easy, just enjoying a few drives a week. Trying to stretch PD's legs every time, go a little further. I'll hopefully get stuff to start rewiring soon, then I'll be street legal!
