I believe sometimes around July '66 when they came out

Finally after a long dig through paper and digital files I found, what I believe, is the last surviving picture of a mini bike my dad built me in 1969. I believe he used a pedal scooter type frame, welded on a back bone to adapt rank and seat. He raced sidecars, so he couldn't resist to bolt on...

Looks like the Erie Motorbike.....Sachs from Germany supplied this 98cc engine to many European and obviously also to American Mfg. to produce inexpensive but reliable transportation. This small engine powered small bikes from the mid '30 to the late '50s. Especially in Germany where many...

I guess it depends where you want to go with this engine. If you're planning to rebuild anyway, spray it in some of the engine cleaning products and pressure wash. If you only want to clean the crud off and use the engine as is (hoping the inside is better than the exterior), I usually have it...

Roger, I believe these numbers correspond to a Tecumseh engine, probably H30. Should be suitable enough for a mini bike. There are some carb repros (made you know where) on Ebay for cheap. At least it may get you going until you decide to take further action. Tom
