Stellar #3 Project

Stellar Compact Deluxe

Most recently I went back to the Stellar pile and pulled this one out. I like this one best.

Nice size in comparison to the one my son stole from me...

Have not done much with this except sand sooth all the rust spots down.

Yesterday out of boredom I was curious if I could get the '61 Briggs going so I cleaned the head, valves, carb and magnets/ points. I was pleasantly surprised when it kicked over just fine. Heh. Not sure what I'm gonna do with it as I have a Tecumseh waiting for this one.

Prob paint it up nice and sell it

Haha yes I work a lot! But Ive gone over the top with this stuff very fast. I got back into minibikes last June. One thing led to another when I met two special people.... Crazy.

This model has plastic inserts in the top and bottom of the fork tube. These are awesome! Does anyone know where I can get these for my other bikes? What are they called?

My bikes dry so perfect near my oil burner over night. Mmmmmm just wanna eat it all up!

um bushings :laugh::laugh:

um bushings :laugh::laugh:

Just plastic bushings? Surely they could come up with something better. Atomic Thrash-Neck Fork Tube Bushingalators is what I'd call em.

Does OldMiniBikes sell these marvels of modern technology?

Painted this one over the weekend. Now to work on the motor.

Engine will be white so the white forks will eventually be tied together visually.
