    Manco Thunderbird Sprocket help

    The weather warmed up amd I got the Predator set up , broken in, and running. As expected the 72 tooth sprocket is way too much. Half throttle and the front wheel is coming up. Not safe for my 11 year old. So after some reading, I think I ‘m gonna go with the 54 tooth. Anyone use this...

    I realize this is an old thread, but can you give me the info on the sprocket. I put on a Predator today with the original sprocket. Its a wheelie machine. Not safe for my 11 year old. Looking to replace the sprocket to keep the front wheel down. Thanks

    Predator gas tank / throttle linkage help

    So I test fitted the Predator on the Thunderbird and the gas cap can’t be removed. The Thunderbird has a gas tank. What needs to do done to take off the tank and still use the stock throttle linkage? Do I need a top plate? Any help will be appreciated.

    Manco Thunderbird Sprocket help

    I picked up a Predator yesterday and getting ready for install. I have a 10 tooth clutch, a stock 72 tooth sproket and 420 chain. From what I am reading this will not be a great set up. I will probably leave the engine stock for now. A 60 tooth sprocket will work best? I have looked at OldMiniBikes...

    Tough start H35

    No. The cable does open the throttle wide open. The set screw is also screwed all the way in.

    Tough start H35

    Havasu Dave, I did use this method as described to set the high and low speed idle. The bike ran smooth and idle was smooth. Its the power that seems missing. I can only imagine even an H35 should pull a lil harder. I will try and adjust the governor, just concerned it will bog and I will...

    Tough start H35

    I always run seafoam in my gas cans, I have a fuel filter, and this is a re-pop ebay carb. Two months old. I only got the bike in November. I will grab a new plug tomorrow, but this plug was bought new in November with a few hours on it. I dropped the bowl, it was clean. Float looked good...
