I found this buried in the leaves behind our house. I can't find any markings or stamped numbers anywhere so I'm hoping someone on here will be able to identify it. The engine is a Powermate 3.5hp but my guess would be its not original. The main features the I think will help with identification are the gas tank (plastic with a mounting system designed for a mini bike), the fenders (heavy aluminum with a heavy ridge running down the center) and the front fork suspension (small springs built into each fork at the bottom where the wheel attaches). I'll include a picture of each item. I don't think this is a backyard build based on the numerous grease zerks located on the bike. The welds are really decent too. I'm just curious if anyone recognizes the model/brand.
It obviously needs some TLC and a clutch (among other little things) but I'm excited to bring it back to life. I pulled the plug and poured a cap-full of gas in the engine and to my surprise it fired up on the first pull!! The rear wheel is off while I was freeing up the drum brake.
