    Just picked up a nice little Speedway....

    That twist grip is off a Harley Davidson Sprint motorcycle. I've had several of the Sprints, both 250's and 350's. Good running bikes that handle like a dream and stick to the road like tar. There is a little tin cover that slips into the bottom and a small screw holds it in place at the top.

    is something wrong with my clutch?

    What you are hearing is the sound of the clutch shoes touching the drum. It is getting close to the engagement speed when you hear that noise. Nothing to worry about, it is normal operation.

    I had the Tecumseh on the Fox running last night. Smokes badly and there is a knock that I heartily suspect is piston slap. Oh well, it runs good all things considered. Sometime over the next few months I'll pull it apart and have it bored oversize. I have all 3 O.S. piston assemblies for the...

    I rode the Bird El Tigre Saturday afternoon. Some missing parts, a few hours of sin removal and it's a rider. Puttin' round the yard was fun! Handed it over to my youngest daughter and she loves it! She ran the tank dry. I'm working on the Fox. I think it's a Condor? Blue paint...no idea...

    Parts are available for Kohler K series engines. Points and condensors can be picked up from any authorized Kohler dealer or try Napa for a set of "will fit" points. They work OK for a couple years.

    2 hours of scrounging brings home another truckload

    Sure does look like the El Burro bike. Now...Who made who? Amphicat built some pretty large machines. However, they could have farmed out this smaller end stuff to an already established manufacturer. All they had to do was provide graphics and serial number data.
