Okay, so I drove an hour and a half to pick up a somewhat complete Trail Scamp last night. It is missing the clutch set up, so I'll just run a single clutch. No big deal. It does have the tank (in pretty nice shape), exhaust, and rear rack. My main concern is the forks. They're "high speed forks" if you know what I mean. I'd like to disassemble them and straighten them out. Does anybody have a good diagram of how these are built? Any ideas on straightening them? I'm probably not gonna go for a restore, so I'm not concerned with original at this time.
I'm also gonna need to look at some brakes. Did this have a drum brake from the factory? The guy told me something about swapping the rear wheel around and running a caliper (using the sprocket as my rotor). Anybody ever hear of this? If so, give me some ideas. I'd appreciate it.
It came with two tec motors. One has the lighting coil, the other does not. They're both pretty rough. He said he hadn't started them in years. He also said that a Briggs won't work with the angles motor mount because the dipper can't get to the oil. I've had a Briggs on an angled mount on a kart, and it was fine. Am I stuck to a tecumseh? If so, that's cool. I've been wanting to learn something other than clones anyway. I refuse to stick a clone on this. I'm pretty stoked. I'll throw some pics up soon. I know there has to be some Fox guys and gals on here somewhere. Help me out!
