Hello Community,
I have been researching the PhatMoto Rover and All Terrain motorized bicycles.
These motorized bicycles have engine and drive trains similar to mini bikes. I. e. a bolt-on
4 cycle engine and a centrifugal clutch. The community of PhatMoto people is growing fast.
I believe...
Hi,
In the 1960's and 1970's, Tecumseh used a magneto (points, condenser, and coil)
located behind the flywheel. And I understand that it is difficult to change these
engines over to electronic ignitions.
By about the mid-1980's, Tecumseh changed over to electronic ignition, (CDI
solid...
Hi Folks,
I know that the minibike community is made up of some of the most knowledgeable small engine
people--CFH, Markus,.... About what years did Tecumseh and Briggs introduce emissions carburetors?
Maybe the mid-1990's?
I collect and work on snowblowers. I am thinking of phasing out...
I want to start a thread. As many of you probably already know, Briggs filed bankruptcy on July 20, 2020.
I hope that there is some way that Briggs can come-out of bankruptcy and survive. I hate to see an American
Icon disappear. Many of us grew-up with these engines as part of our most...

Folks (all 6 of you or likely more who still run flat heads),
I would like to hear people's thoughts on what spark plugs they run in their modified
high performance flat heads. Since the 1940's, auto and small engine flat heads used
the Champion J and CJ series of spark plugs, J-8 (heat range...
Hi,
I have been asking myself the question for a few years: How many cc to make each HP in a small
engine commonly used on yard and outdoor power equipment.
Based on measurements and browsing through a lot of manuals and books, this I what
I think. A stock OEM four-stroke small engine at...
Hi,
The Tec HS40 is probably the most common engine in vintage minibikes.
And the Tec HS50 (AKA Snow King HSSK50 and LH195.) is probably the most common engine on all snowblowers ever made.
How about building a sleeper minibike engine by putting the HS40 shrouds, carb, muffler, air filter...
Hi,
I am researching about street legal use in New Hampshire.
I have read many of the other threads on this common subject of making a minibike street legal,
in various states. I know it depends on each state's DMV and a certain amount of luck.
I am wondering about the difficulty of...
I would really like to see some manufacturers producing brand new Rupp clones.
I read that in 1998, the Honda patents on the mini trails expired. It was not long afterward, several Chinese companies starting producing clones of the famous Honda mini trails.
Does anyone have thoughts on why we...
Hi Folks,
Here is a minibike listed in the Boston area. Looks like a 1970's no-name minibike, no suspension, 3 HP Briggs.
Newton is 15 to 20 minutes from my house.

Friends,
I read on another lawn mover website that Tecumseh Products Company filed for bankruptcy in 2007, sold-off the engine division to be renamed Tecumseh Power. And I read that Tecumseh Power ceased manufacturing engines in Fall 2008. On Wikipedia, I read that Tecumseh Products Company...
On Canadian Tire, I see a new Baja Comet 90cc which is a Honda CT70 knock-off:
Baja Comet 90cc Mini Bike | Canadian Tire
Price of $1000. Price seems a bit high. The website does not state, but maybe that price is in Canadian dollars. Color is lime.
At least the price is less than the MSRP...
The seller has a buy now price of $2,500.

Hi Ogygposis and Others,
I know this sounds like a trick question, but I have been trying to remember what model year of Fox Campus Bike I had.
I have been reading threads today on the Fox Campus bikes. I agree that Fox Campus Bikes are the best, nicest-looking minibikes of the 1960's. I...
