Picked up the El Burro

[jeep4me]

Well I went and picked up the El Burro. I talked the guy down to $75 because it wasn't running and his kids had "modified" the breather tube.:hack: I can't believe how freakin' huge it is. I'm used to my cheeftah, but this thing is feakin' big. Anyway, enough of the "freakin'" talk, I got it home and got the motor cleaned up and put back together, and there's no spark. So I'll work on it in the morning. Oh yeah, did I mention how freakin' huge this thing is!!!! I'll post some pics later.

I'd like to see the inside of that 2-speed transmission / one way bearing gadget if you ever take it apart...

What is the serial # on that ? I'll give you $100 for the seat, clutch cover and fenders.

It's not original anyway so why not make some money back ?

We could play pin the tail on the Burro and see what parts we win. :thumbsup:


Nice bike Jeep, glad you got it running good. :thumbsup: I'd like to see the jack shaft also. :doah:

becuase not every thing is about money i like it even if it isnt original :thefinger:

Its Awesome looking man!

 

[jeep4me]

Thanks guys, I'm pretty geeked about this one. I think I'll be keeping this bike intact. It's simply awesome! It isn't the fastest ( maybe 35mph ) but man it has alot of torque. I'm going to try to keep it as "original" as I can and paint it the same color scheme. I still have some kinks to work out but nothing serious. I've attached some pics of the jackshaft for those of you who asked about it. Oh, and the serial # is 3777.

Those have a Band brake on the Centrifigul clutch stock right?

 

[jeep4me]

I think so. The ones I've seen on the net all have them.

 

[TeeksOffroad]

Pretty close to mine. It is # 3781
