Not sure what it's selling for but check reply number 10, http://www.oldminibikes.com/forum/mini-bike-parts/54877-complete-6-5hp-engine-kit-db-30-a.html .
bought this kit in august 2010. finally 
ut: got around to installing it in a db. what a blast. :smile:
just a couple things to point out. im in CA so the HF clones have the CARB crap on them and wont fit in the db frame. i just took all the carb crap off and put the motor in. is there anything that i should be aware of since taking off all the carb hoses? be prepared to mount remote tank and you'll have to cut the air filter bolt in order to get it off easily. be careful with the chain when you have to cut it. i thought i cut it to short at first but then realized that the engine wasn't all the way back.
well that is it. the kit works perfectly. you too can have a blast with very little effort when you use this kit. worth every single penny.
TT

briggs anyone?
hey folks, new to minis again i,ve been away 40 years. i recently bought a old style used db30 for the grand kids to ride when they visit. it really sucks , i'm reading about 6.5 hp upgrades but i definetly want to go briggs and stratton because of parts availability. i dont trust chineese engines and cannot get parts when they eventually break. anybody know which briggs will fit on the bug and what clutch i will need (db clutch also really sucks) i remember minibikes pulling my dad around when i was a kid. this one would not.

I'm looking for a complete conversion kit for my doodlebug - with engine or at least a link for the best deal on a 6.5hp engine - I'm more computer inclined than motor/engine inclined so if instructions/dvd was included that'd be a huge plus. Please PM me if you have something like this available and price w/shipping to Las Vegas. Thanks!
It's more about being more commonly available. The older minis tend to be restored and collected so they want them original. DB's can be picked up cheap. And they come with a junk engine that needs replacing. The 6.5 is a cheap commonly available engine. Its a perfect match. Although I think it over powers the bike but if you respect it you'll have a blast riding it.
I just bought a db30 from a guy on craigslist for 90 bux. He said he bought it from the place he used to work. :shrug: It never had any gas in it. Tha spring from the gov was disnonnected. He did not even know what way to twist the throttle. What a tool! I have a 6.5 motor for it and I just bought the motor mount kit. How much can I sell the motor for?. How many h.p is it? Now to the pics.
