I have an old roller blade wheel to put on the bracket, I probably should have done this before paint but I didn't start seeing problems with the frame until after paint. :doah:

That's how they are made, my duck is the same way.

I fabbed an idler bracket for it tonight, this should stop the chain from rubbing on the frame and engine plate.

What parts do I need to put a stator on my 5 horse? I have the magnetron ignition.

I paid nothing for it. :laugh: Thanks for all the help on identifying what it really is, I thought the frame resembled a bonanza, but I'm just learning about all the different kinds of mini bikes. As for the engine, I cleaned the carb and screwed in a straight pipe. Then I put a new chain...

My friend gave me this one for free, the engine is a 1996 Briggs 5hp that just needs the carb cleaned. It doesn't smoke at all. :smile: I'm thinking it's an old Bonanza, any ideas?

Here is a follow up, the 4" band brake was a perfect fit.

Ok, I don't have a pipe so that should work nice. And I spent a little time fabricating a band brake mount for the clutch brake, I hope it works good. You guys think that two bolts will be enough to hold the bracket on?

If you can't figure out to pull the throttle a little to start your bike without a governor then you have no business riding a mini bike. None of my bikes have ever had a governor and they are easy to start if you know what you're doing. The governor has no effect on throttle mixture, all it...

I got bored and made some gussets for the frame today, now it shouldn't crack. Is this pipe a good deal? I bought a 5hp off Guardrail Dave, so whenever it shows up I will be able to go riding. :scooter: racing briggs,5hp,creamic coated header,13",TAKE A L@@K: eBay Motors (item 380239399590...

I'll put up a picture tomorrow but the whole front end is primed and the fender is welded on, it looks pretty sweet. I can't fit the rear wheel until I get an engine, so the chain is aligned. Then I need to make a spring loaded tensioner and a band brake bracket, I have a piece of 3/16 so that...

cigs can't light gasoline, that story has been told so many different ways and is all bull shit.

I'm 15, I would have rather been born 40 years ago.

I got my forks welded together tonight, tomorrow I need to install the wheels and paint the front end.

Are the eBay rebuild kits for a kool bore?
