advice

I have electric start and I am told this is an add on as it was never offered. 1. Does anyone have a stencil or decal for the original lettering for the triangular metal panel? I would like to touch up and repaint. 2. Does anyone have a wiring diagram or layout or drawing even photos for...

I need new wheels for my KJ (Already lifted the Cherokee), and I'm having some trouble. I need to run the stock CVs so I'm limited to 3" lift, but I need to install a 16x7 tire which would clear the flares, but might hit over bumps since the thing has 165,000 miles on it. 1: Now, I...

I wanted to put my motor up for sale but wanted to make sure theres no problems with it first. It runs good but started to sound a little different to me before i got a new one. Im not very skilled with engines so it could be a bad gasket or muffler or any random minor thing i cant tell the...

My old rupp go kart project needs a new rear axle assembly..The previous owner welded some extensions on the end and they are crooked..After removing the axle all of the bearings are rusted onto the shaft so I guess I need them as well..Anyway I am having trouble deciding what way to go with...

Hi everyone, I made a swingarm for my baja warrior and had to alter the axle. I cut the thread end off, driled and threaded a 3/4 inch hole in the end. Then I put a GRADE 8 BOLT in the end, and the other end has the original locknut set up. My question is...will the axle be strong enough to...

I'm tiered or fning around with the stock clutches on my warrior. What is the best clutch to buy? Have a TAV2 on my old warrior but I just want a reg on this one. This bike is just a yard cruiser. Any help would be appreciated.

I got this rupp about a week ago with no history on it at all..It has spark and seems to have very good compression..The bad news is the carb is missing all of the lower half(float etc) and it just looks rough and nasty..The exhaust pipe is missing as well as the governor linkages...Does this...

Hi y'all, I recently got my first minibike, after 40 years of wanting, and got it running. It's more fun than I imagined. But, of course, something went wrong after an hour or so. A part called the tensioner/ idler lost it's bearings all over the driveway. So, I need a new one. I've taken the...

I was just cruisin along when the bike felt like it slipped out of gear. I took off the clutch cover and discovered that the nut holding the larch jackshaft sprocket was gone and the large sprocket had fallen off. I am not very mechanical but would like to fix the bike asap and don't really have...

Hello, I have a dirt bug with a 6.5 engine but after discovering that the frame where the motor mounts is totally cracked off, I must now weld that crossbar back together. I figure if I have to strip the bike to fix the frame I might as well give the whole bike a makeover. I'd like to start by...

I am looking for a new twist throttle. I just put one on Ive had for a few months and it is crap.the grip slides on the twist, if that makes sense?

Please chime in with your opinion on the best engine for a minibike if I want say 8 horsepower out of a smaller power plant with lowest cost. I would like opinions on the Raptor and Animal as well as hopped up flat heads etc. I am not new to minibikes and motorcycles, but have been away from...

got a warrior w/hf 6.5 and want more power.gonna remove governer, install torq convertor, billet flywheel, valve springs and billet rod. which length rod will give me more low end torque? i'm looking for acceleration and wheelies w/ top end around 35 or 40 mph. possible with these mods?

OK, I made my living as a mechanic so I understand the theory of acceleration vs. top end as far as gear ratio goes, but I'd like some "Been there, done that, this works best" advice. My yard kart for the grandkids is powered by a stock 5hp B&S (ungoverned, good rod donated by a racer...

So I got this mini , with a tec OHH60. Everything is painted, including the carb. And from what I can tell not so good paint as gas is eating away fairly easy. Anyways, took some tinkering to get it to idle. Im not familiar at all with the kind of Carb. It runs great but my Badger with stock...

Finally found a '70 Rupp Sprint. I paid twice what my older brother paid for his in 1970, and mine has no engine. My goal is a rider for my nephews, not a museum piece. My plan is a Tecumseh five horse with a Dellorto from Brandt at Rupp Parts. I want an older, era-specific engine (60's-'70's)...

I bought a trail blazer on ebay for 69.00. (Have not paid yet). I asked the guy about shipping and he said no problem. I told him I would pay for his packing time also. I did UPS to find out how much it was going to cost me, and I used 74 pounds ( Not a complete mini, no wheels). UPS said...

so i got an old honda express and there is a tiny hole in the tank. my friend said if it was a little smaller i could plug it with pencil lead. any advice?

Hi guys, cool site. I just started a mini project and got a free engine a 3.5 horse eager 1 Tecumseh from a sears edger. I really dig these little engines. Even though they aren't the best for making power, I want to use it anyway. I'm doing a budget build and free is good when you aren't...
