Scored 2 new unknown mini bikes .. Any help appreciated.

[CaptNugget]

Hi scored 2 new minis today and not sure what they are
One average run of the mill vintage bike, other has swing arm and shocks and tank
Red one has motor that fires first pull but now controls or clutch yet
Other one is just frame
Any help would be appreciated
They could possibly be for sale soon so I'll listen to offers or trades (I'm into trikes)
Thanks everyone long live OldMiniBikes (so helpful) :thumbsup:

Rupp scrambler and Bonanza BC1000 or 500

 

[CaptNugget]

Thought the silver one might've been a Rupp or something like that.
Other one I wasn't sure. Pretty neat. Think I'm going to put the running engine on the Rupp and I have an old Kawasaki that needs a tuneup that I'll probably put on the bonanza and sell.
Thanks for all the input so quickly!
If anyone's interested in the bonanza pm me I might post it in a few days

Well have a rip, rip roaring time on your Rupp..:laugh:

That driven pulley should say Rupp right on it

 

[CaptNugget]

I haven't gotten a chance to really look em over yet, I'll try tonight n check that.

I'd hold off on putting the Bonanza's engine on the Rupp. It's a side poppin' H30 or 35 with what looks to be a small shaft. Hard to tell as the pic is sideways though. Not sure you will get the Rupp Fairbanks Morse Clutch on there.

 

[JohnnyTillotson]

Actually I think that shaft has black paint on it towards the engine so maybe it is pretty long. Also I'm not sure that model used the Fairbanks clutch. So maybe you can get away with that. I leave it up to the more qualified Rupp folks. I only have a Black Widow so Im just familiar with what that needs.

Driven pulley does say Rupp right on it, it also had a number right under "Rupp" ... 15108. Would that be a production number or serial number of sorts? Ya I was gonna just swap it but I think I'm gonna sell the bonanza as-is and keep the Rupp to restore (at some point) might jus try n rig it up to putt down the road until I get to restoring it, got a "few" trikes I wanna do first and a VT-8 Heald. Lol:grind:
