build

Hey guys, i am curious if yall could help me figure out all the different issues of popular mechanics that had minibike or cart builds or artictles. We all know about the Tom Thumb issue from Jan 1970 which i already have. I know there is at least one more issue with a build in it. Does anyone...

I have a 212cc predator on a doodle bug and i am wondering about getting a torque converter because my clutch is toast anyway. I have a 70 tooth sprocket in the back. I need to know what is the best economical or sensible option for someone on a budget, and what work will i have to do to...

I have a brand new 212 that Im going to put a stage 2 kit and a billit flywheel on. Would it be a good idea to run it like that to break it in and play with for bit. I want to add a rod, springs and a cam later. I'm not sure what cam I want just yet, but I'm looking at the mod2. I'm concerned...

Would be great to see these machines in person. How many of you will be bringing build off bikes to Windber this year? Thanks Keith

Hello Y'all, I am working to put together the MTS-30 trike I bought for my children. I bought the trike without motor, or TC driver. My plan is to have it ready for Windber. Here's what a new one looked like (top photo in the ad below) : I have some questions about the drive train on...

I recently traded for a GC160 that's missing a few things and thought i'd get it running again (Aparently that's all i can post?)

I am currently building a mini drag bike. I am using a predator 212 non hemi style. I have removed the govorner as well as installing a billet rod and flywheel. I want to use forced induction but can't make a desision on which type to use. I am looking at the GT0632SZ Garrett turbo or the AMR300...

Hello everyone, I am in the process of upgrading my Predator 212 motor for a Murray Track 2 mini bike. My current parts are: 22 mm Mikuni carb w/ jets, 26 lbs valve springs, Isky Black Mamba Cam, Hi flow air filter and a torque converter. I am planning on removing the governor...

Its finally finished and this one I can ride......a little at least.... given the neighbors might not enjoy like myself the sounds of the West Bend. Karl (Not So Mini Bike) sold me the BC 500 kit. These kits came from in a box with the frame in primer and a can of red paint. Since I am not a...

I have several 141cc Dura Force engines and plan to do a stocker and a mod version. Several kart/mini installs have been done, by others, so I want to push their potential a bit. I have a M-Series that I'm saving for the wild version. Pic is of an F/V base but same reeds as a DF. I see it as a...

Got bumped from the build off so I'm putting it here! My bad for not reading the rules. but one way or another I will get it done? The Gc160 fits in the frame without the air cleaner cover but it needed to be tilted in to clear the valve cover:doah: Now I'm going thru My engine stash to...
