A petcock for a Hawk is about $25 on ebay. All new. Frankly, the rebuild kit will cost less than half of that, depending, but add in the labor and solvents, etc. and the replacement begins to look...

The exhaust tip is removable. It relieves the system and makes the exhaust note more thumpy, less cracky on acceleration. NICE sound

Oh crap! Bad luck. If the shifter shaft is really gone, you will be cracking open the engine to replace it. I don't think you can replace it otherwise. Good luck!

Yup. Those are the wheels. And that's the lowest price I have seen. I think KKE has a set for closer to $400. They claim Honda CR250 fitment (and other Hondas). I am sure it fits Templar.

Like most assemblers, they use cordless drivers on everything. They do not bother to hand start/thread. So some get cross threaded from the start on perfectly good threads. Shame they can't see this...

You won't be any more experienced to jet a new carb. Chances are it won't have the right jets for your bike. Either way, you need to buy jets. Why don't you buy a complete set (like $10-$15) and...

I installed a Battery Tender lead (fused). I can check voltage there. The connector looks identical, though not sure about polarity. I routed it through the gap over the air filter panel.

First heat cycle and test ride

It started right up. The exhaust is sealed and quiet at the header. That's a relief. 10 minute ride, gentle to modest throttle, kept it under 6000rpm. I never got it over 35mph. Just heating it up...
