The mini bike that you have is a 1971 Broncco TX-1L. The engine was a 3.8 hp;however, marketed as 4hp in the sales literature. Parts are extremely hard to find. The weak point is gas tank rust. The model mini bike was only offered in two colors that being orange and yellow. My Broncco was a 2 year restoration effort. My name is Pete

Yes, please keep in mind that these bikes were imported so bikes that were made in the fall of 1970 we’re actually 1971 models.

The gas tank caps are very hard to find. Keep your eye out on eBay in looking for a good tank. The metal used is very thin and was prone to rusting through unfortunately.

Some parts are shared with a Broncco TX6. Because the TX-1L was a one year old model finding parts is very difficult. It took me years to collect all the parts that I needed. I sold off all of my spare parts with the exception of some rim and used tires.

Thank you, It had the old part list from inside the tool canister,but I'm guessing there Italian Aspera part numbers. No luck with then.

I would certainly try Tecumseh rings and gaskets. That document shows bore diameter, which looks the same as Tec 22, 30, and 35.
