rebuild

I finally had a little time to look over the Lil Indian I bought a couple of months ago. Video below. Some things I would like an opinion on. 1. Cut off the scrub brake 2. How to tweak the front end 3. Good off white rattle can paint for Briggs 4. 5/8 axels stock? Spacers and bushings? 5...

Just picked this up last wk. will get a predator, came w/2 junky tecs, non orig. And is missing headlight. Thank is clean,

Currently building up HS40's and wanted to note a change that Tecumseh made regarding pistons and rings. In later years Tecumseh started using thinner rings. The piston size on an HS crossed with some of the OHH engines (as does alot of other internals) so they offered that piston/rings as an...

I've had this little HS for awhile now . Last time I did some port work I didn't pull it completely down and got some trash in it and scored the piston and Cylinder. So I had to find a 10 over TEC piston which took almost 2 months. I got her back together today . This motor is pretty much...

Does anyone have a picture of the kickstand used and how mounted on a old Lil Indian minibike?

Hey guys, Ive got a Bonanza chopper with a HS40 Tecumseh with several problems. What I need is to find someone in the central Florida area that could assess and do any recommended work including rebuild if necessary. It runs but lacks power. Throttle linkage is messed up and fuel leaking from...

I've had this doodlebug for 10 years now. I bought it new and after a few months I put a 6.5 predator (greyhound at the time) aside from mutilating the engine plate, throwing a can of flat black paint on it ,a couple sets of tires,and no brakes ( immediately burnt up) that's how I ran it for...

What do you get when you have a tired H60 block that can't be bored 0.020 over? You get Project 14.854 (cubic inches, that is). I'm going to resurrect two H60s--one with a stock bore with new rings and the second bored to accept an H70 piston with an H60 crankshaft. The plan is to build them...

I'm about ready to rebuild a Tec engine, 6 Hp Engine H60 75414M SER 3269D. I installed a new carb kit, but engine still is hard to start, and bogs down under load. I've rebuilt top ends in 2 stroke engines (125cc and 400cc) but never rebuilt a small engine. Where/how is the best place to...

Looking for a garden hose in the crawlspace under my house, and I found an old mini bike that I put there probably 15 years ago! Had completely forgotten about it. Looking for information on it, I found this great forum here, and you all have inspired me to rebuild it. The original Briggs...

This may be the most difficult project I've ever attempted. The stuffed animal selected is a skunk - the starting condition of this minibike could be no worse - it really stinks! Anyone have any advise on how to remove the chrome lift bar from the frame? It's really, really frozen in there...

So I've had this project for a couple and making some progress. I have never logged a build all the way through, usually just when it is near completed. My son and I picked this one up on Craigslist. Fiberglass had some issues and needed attention. Luckily at work we have worked with some...

I am rebuilding a minibike for my son and I need to know how to determine the length of chain required for the bike. I need a #35 chain. The drive gear on the rear wheel is 72 teeth and app. 8 3/4" in diameter. The distance between the engine drive shaft and the rear wheel axle is 22 1/2". I...

So I'm tinkering on my newly acquired Rupp (Hustler most likely). Trying to search or figure out what I can without making too many postings. Couldn't find any info. So I know very little about these rear shocks. I noticed that one is taut and straight. The other is slightly loose with the...

My first briggs rebuild for my little cat. Model 61102. 2 hp . I had it bored .010 , new piston and rings. Ring gap.011 . Piston to wall .003. This thing is tight! I need a wrench to turn it. Is this normal or am I missing something?

Hi guys, Bought an old go kart for $45, seemed a great deal except now I can't figure out the carb at all! I don't understand how or where the springs go and cables go together. The number on the starter cover reads Model:93502 and Type:0284 01, but I'm not sure it's the original cover...
