todays

here is what I was told 1976 KV 75 I have a bucket of parts and he said the transmission needs help but the engine ran.

I put the tach on my motor today. I was hitting almost 28MPH with a modified throttle return spring. Don't remember how many coils I cut out. 3 or 4 I think. With motor out of bike I am hitting 5060 RPMs. My conclusion is don't modify the return spring. I was able to adjust the governor speed by...

So I wanted to do motor work yesterday or today but ran out of time. Bike lives a little ways away so cant work on it but 2 times a month if lucky. So here is how today's adventure went. I had the bolt back out of my Coleman CT200U clutch today. It did not come off as I seen it had moved before...

Every so often I post a "Wanted" ad. on Criegslist. Sometimes it pays off but most times not. Here is what I picked up today. A green Cat with a FUBAR'ed front end. The red one is pretty decent, (Bird?). A Tecumseh edger motor and a GX160 Honda. All for 80 bucks. Jim

Nos speedway belt for the speedway i picked up.

I bought this at a scrapyard for $16.85. I first thought the rear springs were fake then I realized that the frame "pivots" between the footpegs. I have not found pictures of another one like it. It appears to have had a headlight and taillight. See the remains of a headlight with the...

went and picked these to cherry babies up this afternoon:out: The Rupp is actually a JC Penney swinger trail version, there will be more parts out at the curb for the scrappers than useable parts.....its rough! Even though its beat and a non original part I do dig the odd headlight...
