Hello there. I've been looking around for a while for a mini bike project, but the wife said get something that runs!! A co-worker informed me that he had a friend with a mini bike for sale that ran like a beast. He sent some pictures and the deal was struck.
I've been doing some research and it appears that I've got an early Sprite, or Go Kart 1100 Cycle (but those have only one down tube I think)
Anyways, it has a 6.5 HP Tecumseh and a Torq-A-Verter. It's a ton of power that pulls wheelies. After I got it, I couldn't take the salmon color much longer and painted it a rich red color.
Now my worries are that the chain rubs on the brake shaft and likes to fly off under load. Thinking of raising up the skid plate, or trying to add brakes on the 4" wheels somehow.
Anyways, here are some pictures!!
