    Taco Website

    A few years back I built a Taco frijole before Joe had even started selling them yet. I had left a note on his website and ten minutes later he called. We then worked out getting me a Frijole. Not sure why he's not returning your messages. I know that mini bikes are not the only thing he does.

    Predator 79cc performance parts

    I bought a header and the air filter kit. It came with a drill bit for the jet but after drilling it was way too rich. Guess I'll have to buy another jet and try again. I'd like to make an intake manifold so as to put a small mikuni or keihn on it.

    Manco Thunderbird Sprocket help

    Depends on how big your wheels are. If they are 8 or 10 inch then go with the 72T If wheels are 6 or below I would go with the 60.

    Ya know what makes me sad?

    I am a Tecumseh fan but the problem is that they just are not around anymore. 5-10 years ago you could still find new fun power Tecumseh's and an occasional nos hs40 for about 250$ on ebay. Now all you can find are clapped out long blocks selling for ridiculous money. I'm starting to embrace...

    American Racer Mini Bikes

    I just assembled an American Flyer. Solid bike, handles well with the 8 in. wheels. There were a few issues such as getting the internal drum brake to work. I've never set a mini up yet that had internal drum brakes that worked. They sent the wrong size wheel bushings other than that nice. I'm...

    American Flyer 215/hemi build

    I've finally got it together and went for a ride today. I was going to take photos of the assembly but once I grabbed a wrench I forgot all about the camera.
