Could someone give me some info on this Sears and Roebuck

[jmarley7]

Hello, first post.
I thought I might try a build on this frame and was looking for some info. Do you know the exact model. What engine would work good on it. Where can I get a throttle and cable. I would like to keep it as original as possible.
I am new to the mini bikes and would appreciate any help and some resource guidance.
Thanks , Joe

Sorry about the quality of pics, I just took them in the dark.
Also, it appears that all parts are there, including sprockets and chains.
It is actually in pretty good shape. Most of the discoloration is dirt and grease build up.

Use to be a Roper. Is that frame bent to crap?
Looks like a fun project.

Sears roper that unfortunately was jacked up for a bigger engine although I don't understand that when a big block 5hp Tecumseh will fit easily. It'll never be worth much having been bent like that but if you straighten it and make a rider out of it you will really enjoy it because they ride fantastic.

Sears Roper with a bent frame.

Tecumseh engines are what came on them.

You can get a throttle and cable here>>>>>Mini Bike & Go Kart Throttle Controls | Cables | Hardware | Accessories

You could probably trade the fenders and jackshaft for another complete roller to someone looking for them.... Toss the rest....

It would take longer to tie the frame down to the frame table than it would to push the frame back straight :thumbsup: .

I think I would just ride it and tell people it is part Caper Cycle :laugh:
