I used a B&S 692218. It’s 0.015” thick. Sounds like I’m ordering another gasket to add to it.

Hey all. I have an older 80202 briggs engine. It was leaking oil from the bottom of the crank case gasket below the output shaft. I tore the bike down and had the motor on the bench. I removed the crank case cover, and scraped off all the old gasket, and put the new one on, and replaced the...

Cool. I added a clutch brake to our old Sears MB. I used a handle bar brake lever to actuate the clutch brake as the "main brake". The original scrub brake and a new foot pedal are the "back up" brake. in addition to the aluminum shoe, I added a thick piece of rubber to the aluminum shoe...

Somewhat up and down/front to back. Not so much side to side. I feel like the sleeve is worn, and there is some wear on the cross bolt. I can get some pictures and measurements later on.

Hey thanks for the reply. I think the bike is an old sears runabout or Bird Wren.

Hey everyone, I did some checking of things on the minibike now that its gotten some ride time on it. I replaced the neck bushings and had to add a shim between the bushing and the fork mount plate, the forks are much tighter now, and feel much better, so I think I may have eliminated much of...

Thanks for the responses guys. These are likely things Inwill tackle over the winter.

Hey all. I have let my 9 year old ride around on the minibike I "restored" recently, and I've rode it some too. Its probably got a total of a few hours on it, not much at all really. I noticed the chain has seemingly stretched, or the motor has scooted back some, but I suspect the chain, and...

Done!

I figured out the throttle, we got the engine mounted, clutch on, and chain on. My oldest and I took it around the yard some. My wife thinks its goes way too fast and wants me to dial it down some. I will have to play with the throttle to try to achieve this. We still need to make a new...

What’s the best way to connect the throttle cable? I made a bracket to connect it to the engine, but not sure how I should secure the outer part of the cable at the engine.

We’ve got a rolling chassis. I need to do some after the fact adjustments to the brake lever, but it’s on the right path.

A quick update. I got some parts ordered such as tires, wheel bearings, valve stems....My 5 year old helped me paint the wheels: I took the forks and frame to work, as the frame needed a new brake lever, which I had a guy in machine shop weld up for me, also all of the metal parts have...

Before: So Far: My new to me NIB 3HP Briggs: I did not yet show, that I have the old wheels at my work, I ran them thru the sand blaster to clean them up, and just need to bring them home to paint, and get the bearings and tires mounted.

Hey everyone, I introduced myself a few years ago with ambitions to fix up my old Bird Wren/Sears Runabout. Well my ambition was halted for one reason or another. But anyways, I'm here now and ready to go. My 9 year old son and I tore the bike down to the bare frame, and I got rid of the old...

Hi everyone, my name is Mat, and I'm from central NY. I found this site the other day, and it got my interest going to revive my old minibike that's in my shed. I picked this little guy up from a coworker about 10 years ago. The engine was blown and I put on a harbor freight engine. The...
