I'm new to the forum but not new to small engines and the typical uses young boys put them to. :wink: I mainly had an assortment of go-carts growing up and they were all powered by either a Briggs & Stratton or the lesser known (to me) Tecumseh engines of varying horsepower ratings.
It seems we spent more time tinkering than actually riding. Seems we were always scrounging for "speed parts" and time that we could've spent riding was used up on other activities or the distractions of the day. I guess I'll be reliving the past like most of you. As someone already alluded to, the minibike makes a great vehicle (no pun intended) for stress relief and I will also help re-promote the hobby to others including my offspring.
I'm naturally mechanically inclined, a natural tinkerer and a complete DIY'er; a breed that is slowly and sadly dying out in the ol' US of A.
Happy to be aboard and thankyou.
