What is this noise / vibration? 1982 Honda C70 Passport

I've been fixing up this 1982 Honda C70. When I rev it I hear this noise. It happens in gear and when the clutch is in as well. Is this a normal sound? I feel some vibrations from the engine as well.

Things I've tried:

- checked the oil

- checked valve clearances

- looked for any loose or rattling parts on the outside

If anyone has any ideas or things to check please let me know.

Big haul of onions (and cabbage) I picked up for donation

I think it was around 800 lbs of produce.

Bike dies after riding at full/high throttle for an extended time

I have a 1982 Honda C70 Passport that I got recently. It has an issue where if I'm hard on the throttle for a few minutes straight it sputters out and dies. If I wait a few seconds I am able to restart it again.

I'm almost certain it's a fueling issue. Especially since I'm able to get it going again almost right away. I can hear a change in the engine sound right before it dies which I think is it running out of fuel.

My first thought was that the carb bowl wasn't able to fill fast enough. I've cleaned out the carb pretty well in an ultrasonic, as well as replaced the fuel lines. The tank has very little rust. The petcock is new too. The issue is still there though.

My next thought is that the float height is off. But this carb has a fully plastic, non-adjustable float. I'm going to order a new one, but I'm wondering if there's anything else I should check.

Aside from this issue the bike runs great. It hits 40 without much trouble. Any help is appreciated!

Ideas on how to make the body panels match better

https://imgur.com/a/5BMuG9e

^^ see image above.

This nissan pickup is my daily/project and I've finaly gotten it mechanically sorted enough to start thinking about cosmetics. The truck came with non-original fenders which aren't exactly the same color. The rest of the truck has a decal on it that doesn't extent to the fender. These details make the truck look like two trucks smashed together instead of one cohesive vehicle. I'm looking for ideas to cheaply/easily make the truck look less janky. I am not good at painting, and I am not looking for something perfect (otherwise I'd just hire a profesional to paint match the fenders). I'm more so looking for something "better than it is". Thanks!
