    Ebay feedback

    What a joke! I left our former forum brother Juan Blanco bad feedback on bay after the engine he shipped me in a box with only some paper snapped off the carb and covered everything in oil and he refused to do anything at all to make the situation right. I happen to be looking at ebay today...

    Heathkit Hilltopper Chain Question

    I bought the 1971 Hilltopper from Markus that he was asking "what color to paint it" two weeks ago. I'm trying to figure out what size chain is stock on these bikes as it has a Torque Convertor and on the other side of the jackshaft a gear going to the sprocket. It is not a 35 or a 41 chain...

    Tecumseh Aftermarket Carbs

    Anyone have any luck with aftermarket carbs? I have two H50's that don't seem to run right no matter what I do with an aftermarket Oregon carb I bought a few months ago. The engines run way better with an old Tecumseh H30 carb. Just wondering if I got a dud Oregon carb or they are just junk...

    E-bay idiots!!

    I feel the need to rant. I bought a H50 mini-bike engine from some guy (mamoco114nps) on the Bay last week. The engine needed some cleaning up and work to get it to run which I knew. I asked the guy to ensure the oil was drained as I received a Briggs two-weeks ago from across the country...

    5HP Crank Help Needed

    I recently acquired a 5HP with the little nub of a crank after the clown on Ebay listed it as a Kart engine. The engine is from 1976, will any crank from that era fit? If not, what should I be looking for? I'm probably going to have to source it from Ebay unless someone has one.

    Cutting a Key-way

    How hard is it to cut a key-way in a 3/4" inch shaft on a Tecumseh motor that does not have one for a clutch? Can it be done at home using die grinder or something similar? I'm not looking for it to be perfect, just functional.

    Stripping Paint off Mini Bike

    What is the fastest and easiest way to strip decades old and numerous layers of paint off of a mini bike frame? Would using a stripper you paint on work best? I'm just going to do a rattle-can paint job on the bike so it does not have to be perfect. Thanks!

    Hunting Idle

    Hi, new guy here. I have a Baja mini-Baja with the 5.5 Honda clone engine. I cannot get the bike to idle correctly no matter what I do. The idle is constantly going up and down. The carb is new and the low idle is clean and so is the main jet. Anyone have any ideas I can try? What is the...
