Idk if that's the correct bracket for a Tas P7 Little Petro, as I am also missing my original. However, it looks wrong. May possibly be the Ohlsson Rice type. As far as rebuilding these Tas engines, the parts are VERY scarce. It can be done, but only if the parts are on hand. Why is yours...

My old Little Petro That's awesome!!! My dad also chopped off the footrests, but otherwise mine was stock. I just found out I must have seized my P7 pretty early on...cause my motor did NOT have the oem domed 22mm piston in it. I know because the piston was the only part of the motor I kept...

Nester made, Razor electric chopper, turned 50cc China Pep Boys junk powered badass!! Complete with borrowed NYC parking sign alloy fender, conduit header, fine reclaimed office chair leather saddle, and NRA decal.

trimmed off the remains of the pegs...make way for a repro asm.

Chrome on forks isn't mint, but not all that bad. May have it rechromed.

Degreased everything, soaked the wheels in Simple Green and very hot water. Nice to be working on it after all these years.

Little petro project officially begun Went to the garage to work on the little petro today. Stripped it down to just parts, and cut off the amputee pegs...lol. Felt great working on it, and Finally getting to restore it after ALL these years!!!

I think I may still have a circular scar on my inner right calf, from when the recoil starter asm broke, and we used an electric impact gun and socket to start it from the flywheel nut. I rode it without the cover on it and touched the spinning flywheel fins...OUCH!!!

Thanks bro, it means a lot to me as my dad passed in '01. Just yesterday or so, I finally searched for it's name/brand, before I had no idea. So, the search for a P7 begins.

You still have this wheel? Ken
