pulled

Hello, Ken here. New to forum. Have a Foxco Minibike I conjured up 17-18 years ago for son. Has set for many years after it's Comet Torque Converter back plate broke for the 3rd time. Trying rejuevenate it....bought a Predator 212cc box engine but see the converter's plate is beyond welding...

It was about 100 miles away ... Coming back into Michigan from Indiana ... It had no gas in the tank, hadn't been started in a couple years and had flat tires. Had good compression, the owner said it had run before. I rolled the dice and bought it. Aired up the tires, gassed up the...

I just pulled out my Arctic Cat Prowler from storage and i'm not able to get any spark when pulling the recoil. I remember hosing it down after a muddy day of riding about 15 years ago, and was never able to get it started after that... I've pulled off the flywheel to take a look at the...

I recently rebuilt the HS40 on my 70 Rupp Roadster (http://www.oldminibikes.com/forum/OldMiniBikes-build-off-2015-a/107159-capguncowboys-1970-rupp-roadster-jff-15.html#post948556). For some reason, I didn't test fire it before it was all pretty'd up because I checked the timing and everything else twice...

My son just came across a 69 TX2 in pretty good shape but it has a few flaws...we put a new starter pull on it and she runs fine...till the prime burns off... then on further inspection we could see the tank rusting from the inside out...pulled tank and dump a ton of rusty sludge out of it so...

hey guys. did a compression check on my 1970 5Hp engine. only built around 15psi. put some oil in the cylinder, then got around 45psi. pulled head and found cylinder is scored. how much is to too far to bore? what piston sizes are available? is it even worth machining? could it be sleeved?

I got this 5 horse that's been sitting for 12 years, put a plug and fresh oil , gas, cleaned carb. It fired up but only runs if choke is pulled back about a quarter out. I got a new diaphragm on order. Is there any thing else I can check ? Thanks

Okay, so I've had this Raptor sitting on the workbench for a couple years. I bought an old Kart off of a buddy that had stopped racing, and he sold me his kart, motor, and a boat load of tires and wheels for $300. I didn't do anything with it when I got it because I've always played with the...

Been meaning to start project pages and finally have some free time organize my pics. So here goes the first one. Here she is as I found her right after I pulled a tarp off that was covered with leaves. The guy who owns the place didnt even remember it was there.

Today I fired my minbike up and took a ride maybe five minutes up the road and on the way back two cops pulled me over and followed me back to my house and they nearly gave me a fine but I talked them out of it. I told them I had just made the bike and was testing the chain and they ended up...

..to take a few pictures and refresh my memory. It's a Cuyuna 215cc. Had the crazy idea of putting it on a fat tire (22x11-8) bike. Trying to decide if it's worth the trouble.. ? :smile: I've had this thing at least 10 years, it was on a small ultralight. The guy scared himself with it...

Riding my mini because I just fixed the break and I went down the rode when a cop was coming towed me on the wrong side of the rode and Put its lights on and everything and told me to walk it home and she shouldn't see me on it again, too Bad she doesn't know my adress or Name so if it happens...

Well i'll start the story like this , last spring when doing the first road testing on the super powell we were done for the day and it was sitting on the stand . About 15 min later got a cop in the driveway , said he had a complaint of a juvenile riding a minibike . Well i said it was me...

One of my first project bikes was this 1974 Honda MR50. I still love this bike. I know the mini bike crowd does not always love mini cycles but I still like the old school ones.The front fender was removed for storage so I need to install.Other than that bike is complete and pretty nice if I...

This is getting old. Finally a sunny day and 56 degrees. Pull the bike out and take a short ride. 5 minutes after I get home, the same cop from the other day pulls up to my house. Same person had called. Reads me the riot act again and says if he sees me riding the gold DB, he will impound...

Ok, so i bolted on a new magnetron coil to my 71 flathead, added some fuel, pulled the cord and boom! It fired up!.....then died quickly. Im sure the carb needs total rebuild. I added some fuel to the carb and it fired again. While pulling though, the cold pulled out of the handle and sucked...

heading back home from work with my paycheck, cop spotted me on the side of an access road going about 20 and pulled me over.. ON MY LEAFBLOWER BIKE.. are you serious? "There are two types of motorcycle drivers licenses in Florida. You must have one of the following if you are going to operate...

Tecumseh HS50 cant make it past idle. also idle is ruff. i think its carb adjustments so if anybody can suggest what to set it to it would be a great help.

So, been riding more and more around the neighborhood. I have yet to see a cop while riding, but my 11 yr old son say he had one drive by him while he was riding, and nothing happened. Anyone ever been pulled over riding a mini on the street? If so, what happened? A warning? A...
