Hey all, I don’t know if this forum is still active but I have a monster moto 80cc minibike and it has been in storage in the garage over the winter and now, after I drained and replaced the gas and oil it only starts for a couple seconds then the engine stops. When I turn the throttle within...

I had to share this mess..... So a friend asked me if I could repair a fence gate hinge for a friend of hers and I nonchalantly said sure..... Well I was a little taken aback when I got the hinge plate. The upper hinge pin had come "unglued" because it wasn't welded... I cleaned it up and you...

Tecumseh H50 65540V {E} 5088R Crank is rounded? Bought a go kart years ago with this on it, doubt if it was original. Go kart long gone. Took off head to inspect the cylinder, (OK) but that was 20 years ago, Shed has since eaten the head, like a sock in the dryer. Great for parts or...

Has anyone ever had to have a minibike speedometer repaired/recalibrated? Our 1974 VT-8 OEM speedometer works, however, it is way off on MPH. At about 30-35 mph it reads 55 mph. Michael

Super Bronc Seat ... The cover is worn in a couple spots but is good shape otherwise. The wood will be replaced so the cover is coming off. Can anything be done to shore it up?

You guys are amazing. You pushed the wheelie bar video up over 1,000 views! I can't thank you enough. Anyways, we have another video up that a few of you may be interested in. Rather then just buy a new tank, we wanted to show that with a little work, you can save that old tank. We realize a...

Hey y'all. Does anyone know if the front end made by AZUSA fits on a DB 30S and if so without modifying? Unless I just overlooked it I couldn't find a factory front end replacement for the DB. Thanks.

Hi guys Are there any truly interested small engine repair shops that can restore a vintage 5hp Briggs anymore. I am finding in my area that they want to just disguard the vintage Briggs for a $100 predator or suchlike and have more weed eaters and mowers than they can handle and are just not...

I have a Roper tank with no dents. It looks good, but the cap has been off for many years and the cap flange is rusted. Inside is probably rusty too. Any thoughts on a repair process are appreciated. I have another tank for a Roadster 2 that has some fork creases, but is other wise in...

Hi all, I know most of you, like me, have to watch your wallets. Hopefully, this review will help at least one of you save $69, or help one of you fix it the way I did. Notice the two separate item numbers for the same tool! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCqOLQx1GuY Happy...

I traded a small Manco go cart for this a few months ago. The frame was extended 8" but whoever did it I'm guessing didn't really care how it looked :doah:. I didn't like it so here we go.:hammer: I cut out the crap and bent a new piece of Dom pipe and slugged it. I left it 3" longer than...

If anyone has an old bonanza bc1100 1200 1300 seat cover they're not using I'm looking for some pieces of vinyl from an original seat to repair mine. Let me know what you have. Thanks.

couple of years ago I had made a vented guage gas cap similar to the original ones Bonanza used on the fiberglass tanks. This style cap is NLA, other styles that come close can be found but not with a vent you can close usually. The idea to modify the one I had came from the fact that the...

I went to pick up a 1970 HS40 tecumseh parts engine I spotted on craigslist today and when I got there and was talking to the guy He told me he found his old Mac off his kart too and offered it to me. He thought it was a "101"? Said it had been many years though since he used it. Its rough but...
