Sport King Eric Bearkat Twister (Vintage Class)

Looks good Eric but I'm wondering why you used a small front tire? I'll bet it runs good with that mikuni!

I haven't ran the engine.. it came from a great local builder.. I'm sure it will move that bike pretty good.. as far as the tire goes, I kind of like the big back little front.. tote Gote style.. I have a bunch of different size tires running around I might try something else..

The twister is my favorite trail scooter, it is really good to see a quality restoration on one. Very nice Eric!

Looking good Eric, I really like the design of that bike! Putting a dolly under the kickstand looks to be very helpful when moving that bike around

I found that little helper while moving Tote Gotes around! A quick trip to Harbor Freight, makes life so much easier!

These fuel pumps and rebuild kits are not expensive. I have run them on several motors. I drilled and taped a hole in the intake manifold for the pulse.

Thanks Richard, I may end up tapping the manifold, but I found a Briggs part 696126 (valve cover) that has a pulse port added from the factory.. that I am going to try also.. as I want to keep the fuel lines looking stock if possible.. ..

So if there was any question, (because I was going by eye) this guy fits on a big block Briggs or at least a 6hp ...

Made a trick little fuel pump bracket to keep everything nice and tight and hopefully out of sight..

That is definitely in there nice and tight. Took me awhile to even find it. Nice, short fuel line runs as well. Good project. I've been watching it. :thumbsup:

Would have been a rider today.. but I tried to use a pre-owned cheapo clutch, it looked good but it didn't engage.. I could tear it apart but I was on the fence about getting a new 40 series Comet so I just ordered it from OldMiniBikes.. The fuel pump is pumping, it runs like a top, no leaks or drips.. all and all I am getting really close on this one..
