Hello all,
I have been working on a Broncco T/C-4 for a while now. It looks great and has a lot of things going for it, and the engine is strong. I really love this minibike.
Yet, as I get further along in re-assembling it, my nightmares are becoming more of a reality.
I didn't notice the extent of frame damage to this bike when I bought it, but I have already paid for some frame repairs, but it seems like the forks are just out of whack and it was a major undertaking to get the front wheel on and now the shocks do not move freely, too much tension from bent forks(they don't look bad) the machine shop said there is not much they can do to fix the forks without breaking them or causing a misalignment somewhere else on them to fix what is already out of whack.
Yesterday,a cast part of the dellorto carb just crumbled when I was dissembling it.
I have way over spent my budget, I have invested more time than I ever imagined most of the time spent was mixed with a lot of anxiety and few realized victories, except for the day I got the engine running.
So I find my self on the verge of trying to shove forward, spend more money and time or cut my losses and part it out. With each recent set back, parting it out seems more and more appealing...
