Just joined here recently and have been doing small things to this mini since I got it 2 weeks ago. Did the basic tear down, inspection and cleaning, no painting or anything yet. Have been concentrating on seeing if the motor was any good before going forward. Finally found all the parts like head gasket, carb gaskets, filter, vent gasket, points and condenser, carb kit and fuel fitting. The head had only a small amount of black carbon buildup that cleaned up in a minute, I dont think this mini was run much. I got it fired up today and have a leaky carb fitting so will have to address it. It idled nice and the clutch engages nicely since I cleaned it up and lubed it. No smoke, no odd noises. No throttle yet Ruppparts is out of stock. I rode it just a minute by working the throttle with my hand. This has nice torque to it!
I bet I can wheelie my 175lbs on it! Gotta get some more things for it then think about cleaning up the frame and better tires. Wish I knew when this one was made. It has a Sears sticker on it anyone got old Sears advertising? Engine is an HS40 55390D.
