I have a 79cc completely stock engine with about 10 hrs of runtime. Last time trying to start it the pull cord felt like it got hung up. I gave it good hard pull and it came free. Now pulling it I feel no resistance or compression. Pulled it apart and found a bent rod that I believed happened...

I picked up this all original Rupp Scrambler a couple weeks ago. TONS of rust.:laugh: I just wanted to make a beater bike and not spend a bunch of money. First thing was to get the wheels straightened out. I hate when I can't push them around. All the bearings where locked up, bent rims and...
