    Am I asking too little?

    I have a Manco Big Cat for sale and I have been getting calls non-stop. I realize this is a desirable and hard to find bike but maybe I'm ripping myself off here? I'm asking $350.

    Manco Big Cat. Fat Tires! Like new!

    This is a like-new Manco Big Cat mini bike for sale. It has fat tires and a tractor seat for comfort. The stock seat is included as well and can easily be bolted right back on but the tractor seat really makes a statement and is actually very comfortable! The tires are almost brand new with over...

    How would these tires do on a Big Cat?

    Anyone? I am just wondering how it will handle turns with the bar tread. And I just found these which I am thinking will be perfect since it has the square lugs which will make turning a breeze and it still has the bar style middle tread for good traction. OR

    Manco thunder bird good buy??

    A friend of mine has one. Personally I love it but I am also 150lbs so I don't know what it would be like for a 200lbs guy. That is pretty cheap though. I'd snag it up.

    How would these tires do on a Big Cat?

    I just discovered these and I think they would be pretty badass on my Manco Big Cat. The dimensions are identical and they have the rounded edges for turning. What are your thoughts? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290317440189&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:MOTORS:1123

    Surging idle on Manco Big Cat

    No I mean the idle still surges. I tried putting a stronger return spring but it was too strong I guess and it wouldn't even engage the throttle.

    Surging idle on Manco Big Cat

    If by spring you meant the throttle spring thing, then no because I couldn't wind it up any more. It was wound to the max.

    Surging idle on Manco Big Cat

    I don't want to start a new thread so I'll ask here again. First off what spark plug will work in the Tec 5.0HP motor in the Bigcat bike? Secondly, what is some good oil that you guys use for these little motors? Thanks

    Surging idle on Manco Big Cat

    Are these motors easily blown by over revving? I am tempted to just put the throttle cable on the throttle arm attached to the carb body which would bypass the gov, wouldn't it?

    Alright man sounds good, thanks so much! I will let you know how it goes tomorrow morning when I start messing with it. EDIT: I forgot to ask again... what are your thoughts on removing the governor on these motors? EDIT x2: Where is a good place to buy replacement parts for either the Big...

    Surging idle on Manco Big Cat

    Yeah it doesn't spring back for sure. I am just confused as to where the spring is that I am looking for.

    Surging idle on Manco Big Cat

    Thanks for that fast reply! Now let me know if this helps narrow it down... I noticed that the little butterfly valve right by the choke is the one moving forward and back. It doesn't stay still. Basically it looks like someone is revving the bike then letting it off since the butterfly arm...

    Surging idle on Manco Big Cat

    I have been messing with it all day. It has the Tecumseh 5HP motor with adjustment screws also. Any ideas on what I can do to fix this? Also, is it a complex procedure to remove the governor? What are your thoughts on removing it on this motor?
