modification

Im having some trouble finding any information about swapping or modifying my forks on trail horse to have suspension of some sort and ease the impact of bumps. I completely rebuilt my bike about 6 or 7 years ago and havent used it for the past 5+. After replacing the gas tank and carb (rusted...

Here's a recent problem I just had to deal with and thought I'd share what I came up with. Building a 1970 HS40 and the application calls for the air cleaner mounted high for fender clearance and the use of a Tecumseh/taylor dog leg muffler. The carb that the customer supplied with the engine...

Hello, I have a standard Azusa frame, and I'm really tired of rocks flying up into my face. Since Azusa frames were never ment to have fenders on them, how could I modify the frame and/or fenders so they will go on the frame

First off, I haven't been on in a while, and I am sorry, if I missed something let me know, or just give me the link, and I'll check it out... Ok so I now have 2 mufflers, and it is just too loud... What u want to know is what should I pack the muffles with??? Steel wool maybe??? Please let...

Hello everyone... I have been working on putting together a minibike. I have a 1960's NOVA minibike frame and a briggs and stratton 4hp horizontal (probably from the 80's). I purchased the motor a while ago on ebay and it ran then, but not too well. Since then it has been sitting and thing...

Hey guys. I just got a new 2013 Baja Warrior. It's nice and I really enjoy it, but I feel it could do better. Off road, steep hills, deep mud, and shallow water it handles like a champ, but it can't keep up with my doodle bug in terms of speed. It feels like it can hit some serious speed when...

View image in gallery I got this intake off an engine from Mitch (45t) it was on a 5hp Briggs engine.I put a nice carb together off a 7hp Tecumseh and bolted up a throttle linkage to it.This intake kicks the carb out away from the exhaust pipe and the way i set it up,its self contained and...

Hey guys! So i picked up a great looking Baja Doodlebug it's got a Harbor Freight Greyhound 196cc engine on there and I'd like to get some more pep out of it! My engine building skills are limited and just wondering if anyone or if you know of anyone in NE Ohio who's crafty in this field and...

1. I removed the governor & plugged the hole 2. I set up my own throttle linkage 3. Just ordere 18lb valve springs 4. Also ordered a straight header Now what new mods or parts can be done? I was thinking new billet push rods but couldnt find any... Any help? I dont want to buy an...

So I got the motor from a friend and it ran but it had been sitting for a while in the rain and shit so it needed to be cleaned up.. I cleaned the carb, than I removed the governor and put a screw in the top of the block.. Next I began to get a throttle linkage going.. Put in a new return...

Hey guys, quick question regarding the engine on my 2011 mb 200 mini bike. I understand it's a Honda clone style engine, but I would like to order a stage 2 kit from nr race engines, the vendor on the home screen of this website. Will his kits work for my engine? Figured I'd ask the geniuses...

This is my second CVT that I have purchased and will be using on my newest build "Custom Frame for Board Track Thumper". The drawback of the CVT is you have to off-set the motor to get the drive chain to line up, if you don't mount your motor just right the alignment will be off with no...

I have been using this puller for many years, but for a lot of jobs, it just did not have enough 'reach'. It's not rocket science by any means, but I made these four new plates, and now I can pull stuff off like pulleys that are closer to the engine block. I also had to grind one of the hook...

So, I guess this is my first Mod for my Baja Warrior Homelite 6.5. I've been a lurker for almost a year; and have recently seen a switch from REMOVE the Governor to remove it, but don't be an idiot. :thumbsup: I still have the governor, at least I think it's there, picked this up off...

Hello, Yesterday my friend centered and drilled the crank on my 3hp briggs on his Milling machine/drill. I am glad and very appreciative for all the input and genorous offering for assistance. I installed my salsbury clutch and engine. I was probally able to do a whole 10 mph battle speed at...

i recently got a new mini wich has decent looking engine(its either briggs or tecumseh)... my only problem is that it has the kind of carb that the gas tank is mounted to the carb, but there is no gas tank... is there anyway to run an external tank to this carb and make it work?

First off, this will probably take several posts to get started. I have a lot of pictures. I'm a new guy here so I figured I'd do a build thread on my latest project. It's a Cat 250x that I bought a few weeks ago for 50 bucks... The engine was wasted from sitting outside uncovered for...

Whenever I learn a new platform, I take steps with things. I tune from the inside out and modify from the outside in. That means I'll change the oil, the spark plugs, and dial in the carb + timing before I bolt anything on like a header or carb or crack the block at all. When I get to adding...

will this be a plug and play operation or will my chain alignment get screwed.:confused:
