Some light mods for the windber ride.

[Not so mini bike]

I decided to take apart my Rupp roadster to clean to mud off and try and figure out a better carb setup so the air filter wasn't where I need my leg to be. After speaking with a couple members (thanks David and Tim.) I've decided on mikuni carb and intake with some light mods. Hopefully this turns out right.

Mud is coming off the shroud and block no problem. And it was caked on the front of the engine.

David Wulf has a similar setup on his rupp.

It's on it's way to looking better David. We can race up the hill around and back down next year at windber.

Windber mud almost cleaned off.

Soaked it in water and mean green. Looks like there's spots in the cylinder is this bad. It's smooth. It looks stained. What do you'll think. Is it ok?

Clean It Karl...just the cylinder with WD-40 and a paper towel or it will start rusting....clean it until the paper towel comes out clean.

 

[David wulf]

They aren't going to hurt anything . You can get a Scotch- brite pad with some oil and wipe out the cylinder . But if that motors been in soapy water I would blow it off with air and oil the cylinder down because it will rust tonight .

Another version goes back under the seat.

Cleaned the cylinder and stuffed some paper towels with wd40 sprayed on them in the cylinder to sit.

I do have a question to all of you following at home. I purchased a isky black mamba cam, 26lb springs, +20 rod, and billet flywheel for this engine with a 22mm mikuni carb
I have a 20 series torque converter setup on the rupp. What springs should I use on the drive and driven. I had a sheet with the rpm/springs but can't find it.

I am not real familiar with the 20 series, but if I recall, I don't think they like big power! Hopefully a smarter member (everyone else!) will chime in
