    Need some input on this...

    So I've acquired a a 77 Puch moped that I'm doing some custom work on. Just sold off the original e50 to begin the headache of installing a completely different engine. Mainly, because the engine needs a rebuild which means I may as well upgrade which means $$$.. For the price I figure I could...

    anyone know anything about charging batteries?

    So ive been running one of those dynamo/generator light setups on my weedeater bike for a couple months now and im getting tired of the fact that they dim and turn off at slow speeds and stopping. both lights are supposed to run off 6v. So I was thinking, I've got a 6v battery laying around that...

    And another briggs follows me home.

    Picked up this little guy from my friends dad.. he had it sitting out in the rain so I just had to save it. I asked him how much and we agreed on $25. Rode there after work on my beach cruiser and managed to get it home by tying it to the top of the frame with my apron and balancing it with my...

    Stupid Homelite doesn't want to run...

    it's already on a bike so it's still a related question I guess. anyway, I took the engine apart, soaked everything in 2 stroke gas for 24 hours to clean off all the gunk and put it all together with plenty of oil and brand new gaskets. I got it to crank over a couple times but only on...

    Tecumseh H60 (for parts or repair)

    I got this engine from my grampa off a pressure washer. It sat in his friends garage for at least 10 years but could be more. I started to disassemble it but never looked inside the crank area, I did drain the oil but I would imagine theres a bit of sludge in there. Cylinder bore looks nice but...

    Can anyone double check my wiring?

    I woke up one morning and decided I wanted to put electronics on my Overpowered Electra build.. Headlight, taillight, brake light, front/rear signals, and horn.

    Mr.GhettoRig's Overpowered Electra

    So here's my latest bright idea. Electra Duluxe beach cruiser with a 5hp Briggs flatty. My game plan is to have something that somewhat resembles a rat bike/board tracker... sorta my version of TRK's suicycle. :laugh: anyway here's my entry photo. The engine got slapped in there like a...

    looking for an old tank.

    Well I got myself into another project and I'm trying to keep an eye out for a decent gas tank. Looking for something old, beat up, and rusty but still useable. I'm going for a 'vintage/rat' theme on this build. There's not really any tank in particular I'm looking for.. but here's a couple...

    Spending Money

    gee, it's surprising just how fast money can be spent... lately I've known that the whole Rupp project was going to be expensive, but I've been buying parts a lot slower lately so I could afford food at work and thirst busters before school without feeling like I just dumped a full fortune in...
