Most flat trackers either use a compression release that went in the other spark plug hole, or the old ignition switches that came on the motocross bike. Back then, they just had an Off-On switch.

A massive 5" crack on my expansion chamber, right along the weld of the frame bracket.
Possible cause for the bike to lean out?

Long answer... Yes..
Short answer.. Yup..
Lean out how yours was... Nope... your lean out issue was UPstream... In my oppinoin

Intake, yes, ignition/clutch covers, yes, cylinder head, yes.
Bottom end... Ummmm... No. That part of the operation is what's scaring me.
