    VT-8 Roller

    Boise Idaho Craigslist

    Yesterday on BOISE Craigslist I came across a posting for two Heald minis A 10hp Super Bronc and a 5hp Bronc both for $430 They looked complete to me and he said the SB ran. I have enough projects or else I would grab them. I live in Eastern Oregon only about 3 hrs from them.

    Replacement torque converter

    I'm using the belt Ron from Power Tec sent me. I'll have the Chinese pulley set on the original VT-8 backing plate with the band brake. I hope the guys who say that they stop well are right. It would be cool to have juice brakes on one of these. I had an old Harley Electra Glide with a...

    It is definitely a mini bike. I put some Duro tires on it and I hope I'm good to go.

    Replacement torque converter

    I put the chain on it today and I had to shorten it. I found out that Ron at Power Tec gave me more than enough for two chains! He will be missed. I bought a bunch of parts from him 4 years ago when I first got the Bronc, He was a great source of knowledge and a very kind person.

    Replacement torque converter

    I have not ridden it yet. I'm working on figuring out the throttle and I did order a Chinese torque converter set. I will save the stock and rebuild them later. When I got it the seat had a Trail Bronc stencil on the back. I've seen lots of posts about Super Broncs but few or no Trail Broncs. It...

    Replacement torque converter

    I have a 1982 8hp Trail Bronc with a comet 30 torque converter. It is different as the driven shaft is treaded on the end instead of cut for a snap ring. The question I have is if I buy one of the Chinese torque converter kits on Amazon or Ebay will the new 5/8 shaft line up with the rear...

    Comet Clutch Problem

    I removed both pulleys today and found my driven pulley was all gummed up and would not open (that is to say I couldn’t rotate it so that the spring would compress) also I didn’t see a snap ring holding it together. It does have a direction arrow to remove the top of the cam? So I’m thinking...

    Comet Clutch Problem

    Hello all: I 'm working on a VT Super Bronc. I got it running but I find that the driven pulley turns as fast as the driver when the chain is off. When I squeeze the brake handle, It kills the motor. I'm thinking that the clutch is put together incorrectly. Is there a diagram that shows how to...

    Super Bronc project has begun

    Thanks for the help. I will try that but I'm going to have the rear wheel off the ground. I think one of the pulleys is goofed up or set up wrong.

    Super Bronc project has begun

    Yes, I have the belt on correctly. I recall you said in an earlier post that you were having the same issue. There seems to be some slack in the belt but when I have it running the driven pulley turns as fast as the driver.

    Super Bronc project has begun

    Thanks, I will try that. What would cause the driven pulley to turn while the engine is idling? I know that the driven pullet turns when the RPM is increased. What could I have screwed up??

    Super Bronc project has begun

    Were you able to sort out your rear brake? I just got my SB running today and have the same issue. When I squeeze the brake lever it kills the engine. Is the rear pulley on the clutch supposed to free-wheel when you are off the gas? Mine does not. As long as the engine is running the small...

    8hp throttle linkage need help

    I need help with my linkage on a VT-8 Super Bronc. It has been 4 years since I tore it down so naturally I forgot how it goes back together. I'm hoping there is someone that can give me some guidance and or post some pictures on how this linkage goes together. I believe that I have all the...
