Sorry I've not been around much lately. Eh, I get distracted a lot and life had been hectic lately. Either way, I hope you are all doing well. My Thanksgiving was spent at my parents place where I got a couple HS40's to the point they need painting and final bolting to complete. Beyond that, it...

bugs on windshield, probably not as much as I remember. Granted I been driving that dent side for nearly 2 years now and it's got a huge windshield compared to the Ion...

Ever seen a Cicada Killer? I got to see 2 of them last week. They aren't really harmful to people but they're freaky with that giant stinger.

I've been helping re-side my sisters place since memorial day, mostly on weekends, and the flies have been horrendous. This last weekend had the mosquitos finally come out. Sitting on a roof trying to get siding into a spot where 2 roof lines meet is annoying enough, doing it while horse flies...

Something a bit more deep.

What's shipping to MN for the motorsports engine? Or not doing shipping at all? I'd be interested but my parents are out in North Port area during the winter on the west side of the state so it would be a few months before they're even in state.

Wow, this sucks. I'm sorry to hear he passed. It seems like Markus was doing what he loved right up to the end. I hope he's smiling down on us right now as we continue the passion he shared.

As long as the 196 has a 3/4" shaft I'd just strap a TC on it. The primary differences between a 196 and a 212 are a 68mm vs 70mm piston as I recall. The HP rating is the same on both and 212's are usually rated at 0.1 ft/lb more torque than a 196 when stock. At the point I'd replace a 196 I...

Well, this thing turned into quite a project just to get it fully rolling reliably. It has gotten a new aluminum radiator, new v-belt water pump (the one that was on it was for a serpentine belt and pushed the wrong way), temp sensor, thermostat and housing, and temp gauge. Which means the...

I'm not sure about brand, but PVL makes almost all of them whether their name is on it or not. The coil spec can vary depending on if you buy something like a 212r or a specific class racing engine since you can get an LO206 with something like 5 different limited coils. However, most baseline...

Pretty much any coil limited box engine like a Tillotson 212r or Predator Ghost would work. They're all based off the Honda GX200 like your 196 clone is.

I know this much about Methanol, I don't want to be caught in a fire from it.

Interesting, and the price isn't obscene either like some of the golf cart bodies floating around out there.

OK. I wasn't aware of the details of the deal since that was between you and him. I just know he's not on here very often and wanted to be sure there wasn't a problem on my Dad and I's end. Still, sorry about the scammer. It breaks a lot of trust every time it happens and ends with situations...

Belleville? Bellevue? I'm not aware of a Belleville in NE. Either way, if it's Bellevue, be careful out there in Omaha. Drivers have interesting habits in that town. Regardless of that I'm sorry that someone was dishonest with you. Also, I'm fairly certain this isn't about the crank you sold my...

Blue was very common for Fox mini bikes, the advertising I posted happens to show red but the 3 sprite/bug frames I've seen were all blue. The jackshaft mount was rarely used. It's not a sprite because of the suspension forks, larger wheels, no scrub brake making it either a doodle bug or trail...

Correct. It lacks the smaller wheels and scrub brake a sprite had.

As noted, the HF wrenches are dirt cheap and testing videos I've seen of them shows they tend to stay in spec for as long as a hobbyist would use one. It's really easy to get the torque wrong when done by hand and on something like a head that can cause running issues. You don't really need...

Started life as some sort of Tote Gote by the looks of it. Someone more knowledgeable will be along to fill in.
