Last week I rescued a mini bike from a trash pile. Thanks to member Marcus I found out it was a 70's Sears mini bike.
I restore classic British and European motorcycles full time, so this mini bike is a nice change up. I can't remember what brand my first mini bike was.(Norton_ES2_rider on Instagram.)
It's all apart now, I've got the frame and wheels primed and ready for paint.
I just figured out what a HS40 is, and the motor is in good shape. It still has a good amount of crosshatch in the cylinder so I don't think it had much riding time on it. I have spark after cleaning the points, and I have to fix a few rust holes in the bottom of the shroud caused from damn mice chewing up the seat and stuffing the foam in the engine.
The carb is in bad shape, are the ones on Ebay any good?
Thanks for the help.
