problem?

Hey guys. Just ordered a ton of parts from OldMiniBikes to finish my build but...mocked everything up tonight and realized I might have a clearance issue. I have the engine pulled completely forward, and the jackshaft bracket pulled completely backwards, in their respective slots. I mocked up my old...

I have 3 horse briggs on my mini bike. It was running fine yesturday but now I have the issue of starting it. When I pull the pull start, the rear wheel wants to move as I pull. It feels like there is ton of compression or the clutch is stuck, I really don't know how else to describe it. When I...

My mini is making a funny noise when pushed. Noise is around the clutch area. As my son said it sounds like it's farting. :facepalm: At first I thought chain might have been to tight, so I made it a little loser. Didn't help. Clutch band brake doesn't seem to tight. My rear sprocket is not...

Hi Folks; Finally finished my Super Bronc VT1012 but I think I am having TAV problems. I bought the Bronc with an 8 hp Tecumseh. It had the 60 tooth sprocket on the rear. I ran it down the alley and I remember thinking "geez, this thing is SLOW!" Well, it will be better when I put the...

The 60 tooth Azusa sprocket on my Astro rim isn't true. I put them on my Keystone, the put a 5hp Briggs in it, and I just can't get the thing to accelerate smoothly like my DB30 did with the same setup. So I messed with the chain alignment til I was blue in the face, and it is close, but not...

i have been working on a five horse briggs. i just recently took out the old exhaust and the outer edge of the hole that the exhaust goes into broke off. i really need to know if its a problem

I read a post a couple weeks ago about how the predator engines driveshaft surfaced is not mate up with the billet flywheels or other flywheels like honda oem flywheels . has anyone gotten any further information since last week about this issue? harbor freight has a sale going on right now for...

I'm in the process of rebuilding another H50, this is the second one I've had the exhaust seat pitted all the way across the seat.... I was wondering why the paint was severly discolored on the side of the block:confused:, after tearing the engine down, cleaning it real well I noticed the seat...

The throttle linkage works perfectly with the engine not running, but when I start it up and twist the throttle wide open, the governor seems to keep the butterfly on the carb from moving past a little more than idle. I can move the butterfly while running, and it will rev up. Any advice? Thanks.

Took the head off my HS50 today and the top of the piston has pitting all over the top of the piston , and on the head it looks like little pieces of metal welded onto the head .What would cause this and how to fix it ?Should I just file down the little flakes on the head and put it back...

So I find this computer in the dump.. Both side covers caved in from literally I would say 150 ball peen hammer dents in either side... :hammer: Front and top plastic body parts completely gone, mother board bent slightly out of shape, :ohmy:.... I saw it and said :drool: Turns out the...

Just put a clone on my mini bike and when I open the throttle all the way, the engine govenor kicks in and slows down a little bit but a couple seconds later it takes off again. It repeats this process the entire time I am going full speed. I have another mini bike with a real Honda GX 160...

i took the head off of my gx200 clone to swap in a gx160 head. I looked at the bore, and it looks perfect except for a pit near the bottom of the bore. could it affect anything?

I put a Mikuni on the boys Kart (10HP Tec) It ran great when mocking it up but it's sputtering while going down the street now, I raised the gas tank a little but the boy doesn't want it high. I see air in the gas line from time to time,, This is bad right? It starts right up and idles fine and...
