Hey minibikin', you are correct, it's a bored out carb from NR. I'm guessing when boring out a carb somehow the stock choke is rendered unusable?

Ok so lets see, the last post was in May 9, 2009... lord, that almost 8 years ago. There is 1 hour of time on the hour meter. 1 HOUR! It has sat in various apartments and storage units for all these years because: life. I finally got it out of the unit last weekend and we began to get...

I'm going to keep an eye out for one of those for sure. -j

I appreciate the replies fellas. Currently I don't have the energy to figure it out; its not a priority to fix, riding it around here isn't fun (neither is carrying it back up 2 flights of stairs after) and I've since found new projects to occupy my time. I enjoyed the building/part-finding...

Damn that looks like fun! -j

I had this trouble a while ago, I thought it was fixed but when I took a ride this weekend, it was locking up again. If I gently squeeze the brake lever I feel the bike slowing a little, but if I squeeze the lever harder the wheel just locks up and stays locked even though I've let the lever...

Check out my post, I don't know what kind of motor you're running but this guy may be able to help: http://www.oldminibikes.com/forum/general-minibike-talk/14585-custom-exhausts.html -jonathan

Yeah, I saw a couple bikes in that vid which looked to have some supreme advantages - motorcycle front end/front wheel... That looks so fun! I can't imagine riding that terrain on my chopper though with like zero suspension... But I'd be down for something like that. -j

I had one wheel come apart very easily and the other... well, I tried soaking in liquid wrench for days, that didn't work, then with the slotted socket I stripped the heads so bad I had to resort to a screw extractor, even that wouldn't budge them, and finally I had to drill them out; the...

Put a photo up Fast Eddie, I want to see that bike. -j

Here's the pipe he made for my Bonanza and I also picked up one of his clutch covers. -jonathan

I was looking for an exhaust for my bike and did a Google search and I found a Detroit Craigslist posting offering custom pipes. The guy who was offering these services is John Blankstrom and he makes that cool new dual-pipe minibike exhaust available at nrracing.com. I called him and he asked...

Yeah, who would have thought you could have too much engine on a chopper? Not me, I figured you couldn't have enough! Well, I'll just get used to it and warn anyone who wants to take it for a spin. :thumbsup: -jonathan

You know... I'm not sure. I wish I had taken the wheel apart and been like "oh, thats what the problem was." But that didn't happen. Maybe it was the actuator arm traveling too far... I did notice that the lever while being spongey/springy when the bike is sitting, gets very firm when I'm...

OH, good to know, thanks burrito! I think I'll focus on keeping the front wheel on the ground. I can still move the motor forward 1.5", I just may do that... -jonathan
