This is in a building I am clearing, apparently it's been there for decades -it may be original to the building, it's a old school built in 1908. I was hoping to restore it but there's prices missing, so if I can't find replacements I'll probably scrap it. So hears my questions; -anybody...

I'm replacing a tired HS40 with a fresh 50, using the aluminum flywheel, stock rod and cam. Porting and .030 cut from head, manifold dent removed. How tight can these be twisted before failing?

Does anyone know a safe way to do this

Hello all!Recently retired and ran across a 1970 Sears mini bike and decided to resurrect it.Looking for size wheels and tires this had on it.I'm thinking of going 5" wheels with 4.00/3.50-5 tires.Looking at frame it seems it had just under 12" overall tire diameter.Thanks for all replys and...

I currently have the 212 predator with the hemi head and I have it modified to run 4500 rpms, keep in mind it still has the stock rod, now when I rode it before I ran about 5 miles usually wide open most of the time. Since my increase in rpms from 3600 to 4500 rpms will the stock rod be safe, I...

OK, experienced slant-blockers, what's safe piston to head distance on these rascals? I'm used to setting up at .030 on my OHC's, but they have a steel rod. I'm a firm believer in the benefits of tight quench, but don't want the slug polishing up the head. lol I've mocked up and the piston is...

I have been using regular 5/8" bearings for my minibikes and am curious if anyone has any good info on a safe top speed with these bearings. Im running an animal and mod gx200 that go an excess of 70mph and want to know if anyone has had bad experiences with these bearings or has a better...

Hi. I need your expertise. RPM related questions: ---------------------------------------------------------- I've read multiple articles on here and it seems like the HF 212cc Predator is a good motor for the price and it looks like there are a few upgrades out there to crank up the power...

OK. So this site has great mandates (and info) on NOT removing the governors to exceed the factory governed speed of 3600rpm (spec 3600 +/- 150 rpm per manual). The first thing a kid usually hears when even mentioning wanting to own a mini-bike is that it is dangerous and to "forget about it"...

What do you think is safe to spin( RPMs) a stock 2.8 engine. Found a I can pick up a cx or gx100 Hond in Dallas for free ( locked up) if I go pick it up. Thinking about grabbing the flywheel. Don't want to get thread locked down, so what supporting mods do I need to spin it at 4800, I am below...

I have an NR 285 cam in my gx200, larger 28.5mm inlet valve, 26lb springs. Will not be letting it rev over 7500 rpm(max). With this rev limit and these components, what would be a safe amount of lift, meaning how much ratio dare I put into the rockers with these springs. Regards.

Wondering if anybody has experience on what the actual maximum RPM for a 2008 Briggs 1450(11hp, 305cc) is. The manual says 3600, but that's the middle slot on the governor(from my calculations the highest governor setting is turning about 4700 RPM), so I can only assume that's the maximum...
