working

Well, just thought I'd throw up what me and my buddy have been up to. First off, have to say, huge thanks to everyone on this forum for everything I've learned and all the great info. Every time I need to know how something gets hooked up/how to do something, I am able to just type it in the...

I thought it would be cool to have a life sized Maniac to display on one of my bikes while set up at shows. I bought a large styrofoam ball and some other styrofoam pieces and came up with this. A little more refining. The my wife Lori covered it in material and I built a skeleton...

There have been a lot of questions recently about working on Briggs "flat head" engines. In addition, I see a lot of mis-understandings, mis-interpretations, and other wise general confusion as to proper repair procedures (both materials and methods) on these engines. Finally, some of the...

Pictures on the way

Fellas Here is a video of my TAV 2 running on my Buffalo. I don't ever feel it shifting?? :shrug: Am i supposed to? Do i need to monkey with the spring settings and/or springs to get it working properly? clutch_zps0f3e7f4d.mp4 Video by marlinmate | Photobucket

What are you all working on today? I put snow tires on my moms Audi and tore down a lawn mower i found in the trash to make into an open case stationary engine. Tomorrow ill be doing the oil change on the audi.

How many projects do you have on the go at once? I just thought I'd ask, and hopefully feel a little more sane since right now I have 2 minibikes, 6 lawn aerators, 3 motors (not including the ones on my bikes or aerators), plus starting Jan. 1st I will have 2 more minibikes to rebuild for...

With winter about 12 hours away, I sat here thinking back to this summer when I had some great help tightening a chain. I thought a picture would say more than I ever could, on how much fun summer can be. Good times for sure.

I have been working very hard on my rebuild. The electrical systems was really torn apart, but has been put back together wire by wire and tested with a meter. The only pieces missing now are the magneto, stator, and the ignition diode. My question at the moment is this, does a wire connect to...

I've been looking for a cheap velocity stack. Then I had a idea, metal shot glass. So I went on ebay got the cheapest one shipped $5.00. I have not cut up yet but what do you think? Here are some pictures. So we have 1 velocity stack [shot glass] and filter adapter. Cut a hole in the bottom...

Have no clue what the name of this part is and it badly needs to be replace (lol along few other things) It is a small lever that adjust the general speed of the bike. The problem is that it won't stay down anymore, it could be that I just need to replace some of the springs so it has more...

The gear on his starter is jammed/stuck. it spins fine but the gear is to high and...

I have installed this Comet band brake onto my scratch build, but it isn't very effective. I spend ages adjusting the cable but it is still really bad at stopping the bike. One thing I noticed was the solid bracket flexes slightly under braking. If I stiffen/strengthen this, will that help? I...

Ended up selling my old and heavy "Minico" basket case: http://www.oldminibikes.com/forum/what/50695-help-identify-my-garage-sale-find.html So today I purchased this more complete project mini today but what is it? It does have a serial # plate riveted to the front of the engine plate but it's...

Im hoping that this guy comes to buy my quad so I can buy this 1971 Honda CB 175 seems like a nice old honda. From what I've looked up these are hot little bikes 80mph. I also seen guys take a cb 200 crank, piston, jugs and heads and turn them in to little screamers.

I covered the seat and grips with real corcodile hide added a custom exhaust and gold stripes I guess I'm almost done

I need a picture from directly above the installed unit without the cover on. Can anyone take a picture of their working Tav2 or link me? Thanks.

I just came accross some pics of jap bikes I have brought back to life last year before I started on mini bikes. Unfortunately I couldn't find any before pics , but I will tell you that these were all $500 or less when I got them, and they all sold for at least triple the money. The Hondamatic...
