    Was looking at different rubber mounted brackets to fabricate off the fender brace for support.

    My thoughts exactly. I don't want to re-engineer something Briggs and Stratton already figured out. If the bike will run as it sits then that works for me. And Yes, already purchased the repop stickers awaiting to be added once we are sure everything works.

    Took the flywheel off and realized this motor doesn't have points/cond. I was wondering what the yellow plastic part on the coil was. While cleaning the flywheel I noticed I have 2 broken fins on the magnetic portion. Not sure if it will make a difference? Anyone have any input? I cleaned and...

    MTD Trail Bike

    Thank you all that have been following this project. I am always thinking ahead when it comes to a project and currently trying to figure out what to do about a seat. The one on this is too far gone and I honestly don't think it was original. Are there any DYI seat patterns folks are using to...

    Need help ID'ing this B&S.

    Hello all. I am trying to figure out what model B&S motor this is. I went online to get a carb kit and realized this is different than the ones that the search engine came up with. I was able to get a Carb kit and even a NOS carb from a guy in Utah who stated they were used for generators for...

    Today was a decent day in the shop. Removed the Scrub / Friction brake and weld smooth the frame back. Finished cleaning up rest of the frame and sprayed primer on it. Was able to find a new clutch at the local small engine shop. I ended up drilling into the shaft to allow the 2 grub screws...

    Thank you RobertC and LizardKing for letting me know about that brake. I think its best to cut it off since its not original. He will learn the days of using your shoes as additional stopping power. :D That is, until Mama Bear finds out and makes me put additional brakes on it. :(:rolleyes:
