I got the cat apart and blasted . There were 8 extra holes in the engine plate,Along with wallowed out bolt slots and 7 cracks. I welded it up with my limited ability and 110 volt flux core "splatter box", 4" grinder and a driml. I lopped of the hi way pegs and will spend another afternoon...

I have to clear out the stash of parts and project bikes that I have accumulated over the years.. 2 Boonie rollers, 1 incomplete Rupp frame, 2 Briggs and 2 Honda GX160 engines, 1 Comet torque converter, misc parts. All must go, but selling as a lot, so bring a trailer.. Asking $900 OBO

So living in Germany has gotten me bored, my main kart is in America. I only get to drive the thing for about two months around the year, so I decided to have fun with a little side project. I went and looked around till I found a decent, but restorable kart. The kart I ended up buying was an...

Hi- We tore apart the bike today and although it's all there, we're in need of some parts. Please let me know if you have advice or help where I can get these (I included parts from the OldMiniBikes website where I could find them): 1) carb kit for an automagic carb (Lawson products) for the 3hp...

Been gone a while, sold the death trap and am now working on this. I'm at the point of figureing out the drive line. The rear pully is 14", the largest pully I could put forward of it is 6" if needed. (see copper ring in pic) I plan on a jackshaft mount that uses the side of motor like this...

Hi everyone, ive been researching extensively and building and rebuilding this "minibike", but keep ending up wit too tall of gearing. When riding it, it feels like a Bonneville salt flat contender. Its a 1984 Suzuki DS80 that I got with no engine. I had a couple of horizontal Techumsehs laying...

I am selling my favorite project mini-bike. My girlfriend and I are getting a place together and, well, you know how that goes. The bike has been an awesome project for me over the past year (check out the entire project log here...

Build details to come at a later date. Externals are mocked up. :smile:

Hi , thanks for the welcome in the intro forum. Here is my first mini project. I was told it was a cat 250. The foot peg does not look original , but I don't know much other than what I learned here in the last few days. The head has a stamp of 8 d , but the decals look old and say 2 hp. I would...

I think it will be cool to build this mini push mower so thats what im doing :laugh: Im using a little 2 stroke snowblower engine from an old snowblower and the deck is a lid from a smoker grille. It was too rounded on top for my liking so i cut it out and flipped it over to have a recess for...

Not mine, https://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/snw/5380124749.html 1960s. Rupp. Complete kart. With turbine wheels. 2 hp motor needs work. Not running. Overall condition is good would be a nice restoration project. Asking 400. But will take best offer.

Hello Everyone, I feel a bit guilty sending out posts as there are many gaps in my knowledge base and I get a lot more help than I can give back (for now), but I appreciate the great help from OldMiniBikes members. I started out with a Sears project. Thanks to Pat in Michigan for pointing me in...

I picked this yamaha ysr yesterday with a clean ny title. It has a 1980 something yz80 engine in it.I think it might be a 1987 or 88. The bike is a 1987 first year they made it. I also have a 1988 ysr that I have on the road and drive from time2time.I also added a picture of a 1989 ysr that I...

In 1971 I had a Sears mini bike with "swing mount" rear suspension. I'm thinking about trying to rebuild/restore/recreate it, so the frame is probably the best place to start. Any guidance/leads on a frame would be appreciated. And fenders, seats, cables, decals, etc., etc., etc...

I picked up this in a barn find for 50 bucks. It sat for 10 yrs not touced.

I have been looking to build a welding table for a while, as the ones that are available are pretty pricey and not what I want... the one i would love, my dream table, is way out of my budget... so... since I have the capability to build one... I decided to build one the way I wanted... although...

This scat kitty belongs to my twin brother Douglas Wulf aka XJ ROCK . So what I see is a chance to carve into a scat kitty , hell what could be more fun than to totally molest a prefect surviver . Ok I know what everyone is thinking here he goes again . But this time I got ya , We'er not...

Trying to finish up my turbo Lifan project. Does anyone have any tips on getting 12v from the stock flywheel to power the oil pump? I read I need a genuine GX160 Honda flywheel to accomplish this. Is this true? Any tips would be great!

Picked this up from a member. It is now fall in Michigan, time for winter refit. Going to install a model 20 tav setup. Going with an HS50 and underseat tank. Right now I am fabbing up the rear band brake linkage from scratch, about 90% done with that. Hoping to be able to clean up the rims a...
