play with the gain/volume on your mic, my guess would be gain down, volume up. and every 5-10 laps with the suction cup, pull up and tap the valve back down, it gives better contact on the mating surface and gives a thicker ring on the valve, consider it like clearing the flutes when drilling a hole.

My audio setup definitely needs some help. Mostly me. Good to know on lapping!

Are you going to change the clutch?

[@Tractor-Roy]

Not yet. I’m going to get it running and driving and see how the clutch and all the other parts are doing afterwords
