New guy in Wis. with a "new" Bonanza.

[undy]

Hi All,

I picked up a minibike recently on C/L, and got looking at it to try and find out what it is and how it should be. Turns out, it's a Bonanza BC1300 mid peg, if I read things right. When I can figure out how, I'll get some photos up.

It's a green color with chrome spoke wheels & decent tires, one chrome fender, a 4hp Clinton motor with no spark, a missing jackshaft, and a flame paint scheme on the tank. Plus it was only 10 miles away, so how could I not buy it?

I know I'll be asking questions about this thing, so thanks in advance for any advice.

Thanks Doug. I was aware of that going into it. :smile: I'm sorry to admit that this isn't the first time I've resurrected an old (maybe obsolete?) machine.

Madness, like misery, loves company.

Welcome to the minibike madness!

Looks like I may have been wrong about the model #. I think it's a 1310 TCS, after looking at the brochures in the Old Mini Bikes Photo Gallery. It's got the rear sprocket on the left side. Great site here.
