    Azusa mini bike build with my kids

    I've just made a few modifications to my Azusa. First, and I know purists won't like it, but I've removed the Tecumseh HS50 engine. Carburettor was a nightmare to tune, always leaking despite everything was new. I've build this Mini bike to use it and I want it to start first time. It wasn't the...

    Azusa mini bike build with my kids

    You're right, brakes are quite ineffective... Engine plate has arrived. Much easier to align clutch with sprocket!

    Azusa mini bike build with my kids

    The clutch has arrived! I have a problem as the clutch and the rear sprocket are not in line. It's not huge but enough for the chain to derail at high speed... I've ordered a universal engine mounting plate. That's about two more weeks to wait for the plate to arrive... :confused:

    Azusa mini bike build with my kids

    Yes, shipping from US to France is so expensive! And you also have to add tariffs! You have to be very motivated to get a US mini bike when you're in France... :rolleyes:

    Azusa mini bike build with my kids

A few weeks ago, I've rebuilt a Tecumseh HS50 engine and ordered an Azusa mini bike kit with 6" wheels. The kit has arrived last monday (with a missing bag of parts including all bushings !...) A...

    Tecumseh HS50 rebuild

    Thanks. I've had no major problem rebuilding this engine. I've changed the pistons rings, done a clean hone job as the cylinder had a few scratches, cleaned the carburetor and I've managed to find a magnet for the flywheel as one was missing. I have of course cleaned everything, changed all...

    Tecumseh engine colours

    Hello, I'm rebuilding a Tecumseh HS50 engine. I can see different colours for these engines on Google. Mine is black, some are white, grey or even red. Any reason? Does it depend on the years? Thanks for your help.

    Tom Thumb Micro Minibike project in France

    After 9 years, I'm back. :p I've replaced the chinese pocket bike crap engine. It has a 2 stroke brush cutter engine. It runs like a dream and my kids love it. https://servimg.com/view/11862989/591][/url] https://servimg.com/view/11862989/589][/url] https://servimg.com/view/11862989/590][/url]
