lol i have the drt clutch basket and the screws/bolts sheared. you could always trying ordering from drt directly john. and i would go with an oko carb which is a keihin knock off and you can use keihin parts in them.

you know...mine went kaboom over the summer. the clutches in these things are awful

i actually want one of these 4stroke shifter scoots....i think it's a really good idea and congrats on the purchase

lol...just weld it
