My son and I have been bitten by the mini bike bug. Our winter project will be a Rupp Scrambler that we picked up. The goal is to build a nice driver, looking as close to original as the budget will allow. The bike came with a 5HP Tecumseh that we will go through.
I'm starting to put a parts...
My son Dominic finished his first bike a few weeks back and decided to show it at a local car show. He took a top 50 award out of 400 cars.
He did the work himself with my supervision. He already has a second bike in the works. Thanks to Joe51 for the beautiful seat.
I'm looking for the outside mounting holes dimensions on the stamped mounting plate on the 79CC Predator. The Harbor Freight site only shows the holes in the bottom of the block.
I can't get out to Harbor Freight for a few days and i wanted to lay out the holes tonight.
Thanks
My son and I want to give a thank you out to Joe 51. My son and are are putting together a non-stock 69 Rupp. It's our first Mini Bike project. I purchased a NOS front fork from Joe and he personally delivered it to the house. Both my son and I where blown away by his wealth of knowledge and his...
So my son is building his first mini bike. The frame is a 69 Rupp. We picked up a barely used Predator 212.
A question for you guys that have been doing this for a while, and please answer honestly, is the 212 to big for a 135 pound, strong 13 year old?
I came across an old thread on here and...
My son and I are building our first mini bike project and last week we placed our first order with OldMiniBikes Warehouse. My order came today with one small issue. One of the Tri-Star wheel had a chip on the outside edge. I called the customer service line and Eric is sending out a new rim half. Just...
Picked up 2 more Briggs this past week.
The red on I believe is a 62, the orange one is an 85. Correct me if I'm wrong.
My question is how do you determine the HP based on the number on the data tag.
Thanks,
Bob
Does anyone have any close up pics of the throttle linkage on a late model (2000ish) Lil Indian. From the end of the cable to how it attaches to the carb.
I bought the bike/engine in pieces. I have the original engine but I’m not sure if the carb is correct.
Thanks again guys!!

We just picked up a late model Lil Indian with a brand new Predator 212 on it.
I can’t run it without it taking off. It’s like the idle is to high where the clutch is grabbing. I turned the idle down as low as I can without it stalling.
Being a newbie at this I’m guessing I have a bad...
Newbie here with a newbie question.
Im building a late model (2000ish) Lil Indian that I picked up. The original wheels have been replaced with a 4" wheel and the band brake is gone. So I want to order the following parts and I'm hoping someone can tell me if they will work together...
Hi,
My son (12) and I have just been given a mini bike to restore. From what we can gather it is a 68ish Rupp Roadster. The engine does not appear to be the original. The bike is in rough shape but I believe that we can do something with it. My son is out of his mind. He has been wanting to...
