Hello everyone, I just dragged my old mini bike out of my uncles garage after 20 years and plan on restoring it and bringing it up to my cabin in northern Michigan for my nephew to learn to ride on. Actually to be honest, my nephew lives over a 1000 miles away from our cabin and only comes up twice a year so I will probably ride it more than he will I just learned from a post I made in the "What is it" section that my bike is a Harrison Wildcat. Once I pulled the bike out and got it in my garage, I drained the old gas and changed the oil. After a few sprays of starter fluid the bike started right up and idled fine. Once I got on it to ride around my yard, the bike would stall once I got it moving. It would start right back up after it stalled but every time I gave it gas and started moving it would stall again. After a few starts and stalls, I let it sit for a bit then tried starting it again but couldn't get it to start anymore. The next day I decided it was probably a gummed up carb so I removed it, took it apart, and completely cleaned it with carb cleaner then blew it out with my air compressor. Still no luck. The spark plug still gets spark, the carb is clean and sounds like it is sucking air and I am spraying starter fluid straight down the carb so fuel shouldn't be the issue. I'm really not sure why it would start one day but not start the next. It only has 50psi of compression so I am worried that might be an issue. I need to have this bike done by the beginning of July because that is when my nephew is coming back up to our cabin, so I am contemplating just buying a new engine and spending my time fixing other issues like breaks, lights, drive chain and cleaning up the frame. I really want this bike to be nice for him (and me ) so does anyone have any ideas on a good replacement motor? By my measurement I have about 13" of height in the frame for the motor and I am not apposed to doing a remote gas tank in front of the seat if it won't fit with the engine. I would love to keep the original engine but im afraid of spending too much time working on the engine and not getting the rest of the bike done in time. Any suggestions on a replacement engine or maybe even the issues that I am having with the original engine?
