running

i got this engine on a bike this last summer. the governor was bypassed with after market throttle linkage. I'm trying to return it to factory. i just can't get it to run right. as of now, it starts just fine with the choke on. it will idle to warm up and even rev just fine with choke on...

Election time came and went here without much fanfare we got some change, not quite what I was hoping for. The winds of change will blow soon in the USA too. But I want a politician who speaks to me in these dark days. A strong man with vision and purpose. I think I found him in...

Looking for a running 1967 Briggs and Stratton 3hp engine for a taco 22 project

I am putting this up for sale and it has been identified as an electric bike at one time that had a motor put on there. It has a Briggs that starts right up and it rides. drives and brakes just fine. Strong construction with a good looking frame and front forks as well. $250 picked up in...

just wondering how well they work and hold up to a big block off road? feedback appreciated.

Hi, I have not been around for a 1/2 year. But I finally put some paint on and re-upholstered the seat, new tires and a few do dads. I took some pictures to show it off. It is a Bird Duck, with 6 inch tires, scrub brake, 3.5 HP Tech. I just have to hook up kill button, route throttle, gas...

I bought the first Scat Tracker and then the second for parts but it was so complete I decided I had better just restore it to!! They are both from 1973 and now running. Does anyone else have one of these?

My current build might not gain much going to e85, but my next build I'm going up even higher with the compression so I'd love to have my 22mm mikuni running on e85 already. I'd like to know a good starting point on jet sizes and needle jet placement. I've ran e85 in my drag cars with great...

hello, new to the site and having a issue with a warrior 200. bought it a few yrs ago and its been ridden a handful of times. bike has maybe 3 hrs tops on it. went to start it today and it would only run with the choke on, as soon as choke was off it died. so took the carb all apart and sprayed...

Right now, I can pull the starter, then I have to give it throttle to keep it alive. If I let go of the throttle the engine will kill itself. If I release the choke, the bike starts moving BUT when you let go of the throttle, the engine should idle, but it doesn't. The engine just dies. Has...

I know ive seen this in one of my books' trouble shooting sections but cant seem to find it. What does it mean when the throttle plate opens on its own when running? I think a worn out throttle shaft? Engine just slowly flooring itself I suppose i could stop it from doing this by putting a...

Heard lots about how good they work. whats the bad side(if any)?

All, I know this is a minibike forum, but you all know the Honda GX200 clone engines quite well so I thought I would ask for some help. I have a Harbor Freight Greyhound/Lifan engine (The older one) that is currently mounted on my rototiller. I have logged about 100 hours on the engine and...

Hello all, i put a post in the off topic section just to say hi so you may have seen the pics but im told they are better in here, this little bike is really confusing me, cant seem to find anything on what model it is and im thinking now that its not really a Garelli, does anybody know anything...

Could someone tell me if this is infact a 70S speedway scarab. and how I can tell the year with no tags, and a possible value in current non running condition?? THANX KERRY

I have a 70's Cat eilemintor, I found this bike when I was kid at my dads rent house. It was just a rolling frame no engine. We took it home and I rode down hills and pushed my self around the yard. And then one day it was gone my dad rebuilt it for me for Xmas. I rode it every where have the...

This poor thing just keeps getting kicked around the shop and never finished. At this point all it really needs is some final adjustments, and throttle linkage/possible carb replacement to actually go. I got a tilly for it, but it needs rebuilt and may not be the optimum size, I do have the...

I recently traded a riding mower for two Baja Heats with 196cc clones on them. I'm entirely new to minibikes, but both bikes have issues running. So here are my questions. 1. Bike A only runs and starts with throttle, but accelerates and maintains top speed fine until I let off, it's missing...

Looking for an HS50 with lighting coil for my BC1400. Prefer in good running condition. Cosmetics not important. Thanks. Tom
