Sweet thanks

I picked up a Predator 212cc the other day and ran it Monday for 1 hour. I ran it a a constant RPM. Did I mess up or can I still do a proper break in? Seems to be running fine.

Been busy with some shop clean up projects but I am starting back on the mini bike next week. Going to put the frame together. I am thinking of painting the motor but unsure if I should.

Sounds good. I will be looking into a Clutch Band Brake. You mentioned something about a jack Shaft what are the advantages of a having one? I was also thinking about installing a torque converter. So the clutch band brake wouldn't work. If the torque converter is not the way to go that is...

Would a mechanical disc brake work? I want to try to keep an old school look to the bike. Looks like I might go with 8" Rims instead. Probably steel. Since this is a ground up build. My plan was to strip the engine down and powder coat as many components as possible. Should I reuse the old the...

I have the Original Tecumseh 3.5hp that can off the Murray Track 2. I would like to rebuild and make a sweet little street mini bike with it. I am wondering what sort of performance I can get out of it? Looking to build a frame similar to this below. Parameters: Street bike only Looking for...

Update I have the frame painted. I still have a lot to clean up and paint. I disassembled the exterior of the motor to clean it up and I am also getting g rid of the gas tank and going to build one. I also cleaned the seat shock. I just ordered the chain and new wheel bearings so they...

Well my dad had this Murray Track 2 sitting in his shed that is falling apart. I asked home if I could have it and he said yes. So I brought it back to my house and starting tearing it apart. Tomorrow I begin prepping the frame for paint. Going with flat black. I have not...

I want to apologize to everyone on this forum. If I didn't not provide enough information it is on me. I did not intend to offend, anger, or waste anybody's time. I am sorry if I did. I do want to use this for trail riding. I just threw the part in there about me wanting to make it a street...

Havasu Dave, Do you think you could tell the condition of my used clutch from some pictures?

I don't know if you read this part or not: My ultimate goal is to make this a sweet little steet bike to go with my lowered turbo truck when it is finished (but that is way down the road). down the road means probably 2-3 years so in the mean time I am going to use it for trail riding. Again I...

Sorry about the flip flopping back and forth. I didn't want to come across like that. I was just trying to understand. Ok, so it is basically a throw away engine that is good to know. I will not be doing any fab work then. I originally thought that I could get something out of it sinc it was...

I don't think so I have gotten a lot of help from you and the others that have responded. I just needed clarification on your response. Like I said I appreciate the responses greatly. I just needs to know if adding an exhaust will have a negative effect on the performance. Sorry if it seems I...

The clutch is used. I am going to clean it up. I ordered a 12t clutch. I am going through the clutch tomorrow and make sure it is ok.

If the 10t sprocket is better can I just swap sprockets from one clutch to the other?

So if I make an exhaust will that affect the performance of the VM22 or are you just saying it would be better to spend that money else where? Because I do not mind spending the money plus I have a welder and a 3'x30' roll of stainless steel sheet metal. This motor just happened to come into my...

I can do that. I was just really looking for general information on how they work. Here is what I am working with. I have a Murray Track 2 with a Tecumseh engine but I am not using the stock engine. I am using a Honda GC160 5hp engine that I know runs. The clutch I currently have is a Max...

That is what I thought. Thank you. Another question. If I got a weaker spring that should increase acceleration?

Can some one please explain the theory behind the different RPM ranges for the Max Torque Clutch springs? Mainly how the different RPM Ranges work on the springs.

Update: I am going to use the old clutch because the shafts are the same diameter. I am going to take it apart and inspect it. I am wondering if I need to keep the grease fitting that nut that was holding it on? This Max Torque clutch does not have set screws, so I am assuming that this is an...
