After you folks helped I.D. my frame, I went to work. I'm waiting for remaining parts, but here is a pretty good mock up.

Looks great, nice job.:thumbsup: How did that Jersey bike make it out there to Kansas

 

[rustybike]

That's a real nice minibike. What year is the engine?

 

[jbrocks]

Sweet!:thumbsup: I'm still trying to wrap my mind around that rear suspension though...:blink:

 

[albertlehre]

Not sure, but I'm hoping a Ruttman will find it's way down!

 

[albertlehre]

Serial # starts with a 9. you can only guess the decade...1969 or 1979? The Arco is sixty's so I'm hoping that it is older.

 

[albertlehre]

I fought with that rear end to make it work. All rusted and locked up. Their are smaller diameter tubes bolted under the seat with the springs around them that ride internally in the larger down tube.

 

[rustybike]

I have never seen a rear suspension setup like that but it looks good and I like it a lot.

Very nice restoration!

Purrrrdy.

 

[oldfatguy]

the straight fork and handlebar style makes it early 70s or older.

your bike is very similar to my 1968 Arco Colt but there are some differences between them like the engine plate and the rear axle mounts.

Thank You,That means a lot coming from all you guys!

 

[KustomKartKid]

Really nice...the key switch is cool was that factory?

 

[rustybike]

Did this minibike come with a side popper Tecumseh?? Just trying to verify something I read.

 

[albertlehre]

The key switch is stock

 

[albertlehre]

This came with a side popper. I have it at home but wanted more power and like the larger crankshaft look
