The hydraulic clutch looks very neat and the servo motor (radio control servo?) operating the choke is very clever but what's in the box in the first shot

nice touches, glad Im not the only person to use RC servos in vehicle builds
also a fan of the external tube levels, like your style and work, what else have you done?

popular in the custom bike work, steampunk is getting more popular, and this style along with lots of brass fittings etc work well
Ive had success with TIG welding 90 degree barbed elbows into the tank, then just using clear fuel tube, I had to change my tube quite often as it yellowed, probably far better grades available now

Im still intrigued as to what the programmable logic controller is for
I took the simple route when I did my servo choke on the bike, I used a servo tester circuit to create the PWM signal required to control it.
deffo want to see more of your work and build
