Looking to assemble some cool mini-bikes for a drag race portion of the event. Even if you can't bring yours, may be a fun time to just...
Curses...Had an original MTD gas tank on e-bay. Lost it over a dollar.:hammer:
Peanut one will have to do for now. Wish I could get a carb that would work properly. Have tried drilling out jets and messing around with float, but it still won't run without chuck on.

Scored a Briggs 5hp ohv engine, from a lawn edger, at my shop. Yep it used...
Hey Fellas, Found this crazy forum, through a guy on The HAMB message board. Thanks for having me. Got this little scooter, a million years ago, as a toy for my girls and nephews. Rescued it from the corner of his garage a few years ago. Finally making serious headway towards a finished product...
