Found this listed on Facebook of all things! I couldn't hardly believe it. Looks to be all original, not in the best shape but for the money it was a steal! Engine has good compression and shouldn't take much to get running.
I've never seen a red and black one before so figured I post it up for some input. Seems to be all there just no motocross tires? Also never saw a red engine before.
Not mine, just wondering if this is the real deal, so many are advertised as black widows but they are not. I'm just curious. Thanks. I'm not sure how to post the link to ebay, but its listed as Rupp Black widow
Just finished reading a post about governor removal and the dangers involved with doing that but not replacing the flywheel and rod with parts that can take the higher RPM available when the governor is removed. It made me think about the Rupp black widow which used a DeLLorto slide carb. How...

does any one know what the correct gas ratio is for the 80b engine? for a speedway widow maker.
i have heard 16:1, and 32:1, i saw on a widow maker gas tank (caution 16:1 mix ratio) seems kinda rich.
Are black widows the only typos that came with 28 spoke rims.
Any other stand alone info would help. As far as what makes them different from the other 12" wheel rupps.
