so the stock air filter cover is missing on this. if i would do a cone filter like this https://www.OldMiniBikes.com/fabric-air-filter-3-1-4-x-4-.html would the stock carb jetting be ok? id also like to change the exhaust as well.

i lol'd

thanks, fellas! i like going into these projects kinda blind to what is the norm, and doing it my style, uninfluenced.

yea, i should probably put a bit more thought into the name, haha, but here is my short story in pictures. not quite done yet, but its starting to look like something...

thanks. from what ive found out, its somewhere between '69 -'72. its a 2 speed with an automatic clutch

i agree.. but for now im just gonna let my boy learn on it and hopefully he doesn't trash it too bad. the original plan was to get him on this honda qa50 i picked up for $35, but i think im going to keep that and make that be my full restoration project

makes a lot more sense now, haha, thanks

the exhaust in the second pic... that pvc pipe?

thats a lot of minis! cant wait to see pics

no, it was complete when i picked it up. i just couldnt help not rip it apart when i got it home. the forks were bent, so i just straightened them and started painting
