rebuild

So I bought a cheap 5 hp briggs off of ebay. After inspecting it it has some scratching in the cylinder and very low compression, as well as a bad exhaust valve. I have always wanted to modify one of these old engines. It is a 1987 model 130202,type 2153-01, code 87022610. I have no idea...

I'm looking to start ordering engine parts for a late 60's, 3.5HP Tecumseh engine that came stock on a Sears minibike. The model/sn plate on the blower case is long gone, but I do know that it is a 3.5HP. Can I just assume that it's a H35 model or that H35 model parts will be compatible? I'm...

Has anyone rebuild or had one rebuilt lately? Its a mid 80's 3.5hp tecumseh engine, I just rebuilt the carb and got it running seems like its struggling a bit, probably time for a rebuild. Are the parts easy to get? and is it a good idea? anyone know how much about? if not to fix is the...

I made the mistake of laying them down on there side and oil leaked out. I can't really tell how much. So I am afraid to use them until I know they are safe. Does anyone know how to rebuild them? Take them apart? What oil to use? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just replaced all diaphragms and gaskets, carb is fresh and well taken care of. Set up (blueprinted) for a "mild to wild" Honda GX200/Clone on gas. This carb was bp'd by KornDog.:bowdown: $80 shipped, ninjas.

I have a super original Allstate Sidekick trail scoot with a B&S motor that appears to be as old as the bike. The numbers stamped on the motor are: 81302 943902 6105160. What do these tell me? I need a carb rebuild kit, and a refresh on the rest of the motor would be ideal. Not trying to build a...

A few pics and videos of my 08 GSX-R 1000's resurection. A spun #3 rod bearing forced me to rebuild the engine much sooner that I had planned to. This was my first motorcycle engine build...needless to say, I was very pleased to hit the starter button and hear the motor come to life on the very...

NOW ON THE HISTORY CHANEN NOW, rick restors a 55 matchless

Hi Guys, Another question, I'm on a roll:laugh: I need to rebuild a Fuji 100cc motor and it looks like the std piston size for the Fuji 80 engine is 48mm and the std bore for the Fuji 100cc motor is 53mm. Do these two engines have the same stroke? Also are the crank, head and cylinder...

I just got my Taco shock parts back from chroming, and just finished the first set of rebuilt Taco Shocks. Here are photos of before, after chroming, and the finished shocks. I will post photos of my latest Taco project soon... HD

This is my first attempt at a mini bike rebuild. I got impatient to make it functional because the weather is getting nicer and the kids want to play with it. I do not intend to keep the honda engine on it but it ran and was in my shed. I will pick up the proper tec when I come across one that I...

here goes my rebuild log: this is a mid to late 1960's Bonanza BC-1100. I'm going to start with the before pictures, so here they are: these are pictures just as I found it, at a garage sale on the Oregon Coast, $20 and she was mine.

Hey guys, it's been awhile since I've posted. Now that it's getting nicer out, I started working on a new project. I picked up this frame last summer for next to nothing. After posting in the "what is it" section, I found out its a K & S hornet. This will be the first mini bike that I am...

Got my 6.5 HF in the frame today and woke her up. She purrs. Ordered 6" kit from OldMiniBikes. Received my clutch yesterday and have replaced the front springs and rear shocks. Coming along nicely. Will have pics up soon.

Okay, I'm not much for taking pictures, and all I have as far as camera's right now is the one on my phone, but here's the deal... 2001 Murray Track 2. Had a Honda GX160 (pretty beat), and home made scrub brakes that did not work. It had been abused but still ran pretty decent...except for...
