I have been through tons of pictures trying to identify this without having to ask, but I have failed. :sadcrying4:

Your ideas and thoughts are welcome.

Can you give me an idea of the year it may be?

Could you give me any links to places that may be able to provide more information on it or parts availability?

about early 70's My front fender is backwards in those pic's.

I notice yours doesn't have front shocks as well (most do) Original engine a 4HP Tecumseh with down draft intake.

Here it is rolling, you can't hear it in the vid because of the Kart cam but it sounds cool with the stock pipe.

Parts like bearings, chain, clutch are pretty much universal. The tank and seat will be the hardest to find. Watch eBay and here in the classifieds. kbs8ball on here can make you a good seat.

Tanks are easy on e-bay and other places, I have a spare and they are the same as the Manco "thunderbird" and a couple other bikes, the white ones would be the hardest to find.. I think you can still find the scrub brake pads too. The rest are basic parts at mini bike places.
