That might be the way to go and I’ll check into it. Work lights for use at night would be nice to have. I just purchased a Tillotson carb (the hot ticket for fueling these small engines). I’ll most likely stay with the Hemi engine for now. I’m also thinking about adding a small motorcycle gel battery and solar panel that I have, to keep it charged. A battery tender will be used in the garage to keep the battery topped off.

I’ve been working on a few other additions that I would like to add to my CT200U. I’ll be posting about them in my build thread.

Def some good ideas there! Looking forward to seeing what you add to your build. Another reason for a small motorcycle engine in this one is because the finished project will probably be used in some ghost town expeditions. So speed is kind of a factor as well.
