So my engine is further modified and has blow-by smoke and oil coming out of the exhaust. At first the engine had a HUUGE amount of blow-by you would swear James Bond him self came by with his smoke screen. So I used the governor hole as a vent,drilled it open just a tad more, and the...

I need a 1" bore clutch but my sprocket is a 35 pitch and all the 1" clutches seem to be 40/41 pitch.

My clone has a straight pipe, mamba jr cam, no gov. Is it possible that the mikuni 22mm is too small? Given the chance, I think my engine would suck the air filter right through the carb. Sometimes this thing works like a champ, other times it's as if it's struggling to keep the engine fed...

I've noticed that my Greyhound 6.5 engine is burning a little rich at my 8,000 foot elevation. The engine never bogs down and response of the throttle is very fast. No backfire. The spark plug is black at the electrode and the exhaust pipe is as well. Should I re-jet or adjust the carb? Leave...

Guys, I apologize for asking something I'm certain has been asked before. I swear on my only child's life that I did a search, and there is a lot of info our there on this, but I was having a hard time finding what I'm after. I need advice on what gearing ratio I should shoot for wit my tav...

I had a dead throttle after about half open. Mikuni jets start at 85mm and g oto 500 in increments of 5's. I'm certainly not going to buy 100 jets to figure out which one is best for me. I decided to drill my own a little bit at a time. The improvement keeps coming. I'm just about to...

I read where Rupp's used a 3" crank on their HS40 engines for use with a torque converter. Ok. Now... Can someone tell he where they measure the crank from? I have a standard length crank and want to make a spacer but I need an accurate way of measuring what I have vs where Rupp measured it...

I'd like to replace my rear sprocket from a 74 tooth to a 60 tooth. I had already purchased a generic-universal- solid sprocket. I would like to use it on my Motovox bike. The center hole is 1 3/8" and according to what I've read, it needs to be 1 1/2". Also the 6-outer mounting holes need to be...

Who has one that wouldn't mind taking the side cover off and taking a good clear picture of it for me? I've searched around on here and google and it seems pictures of the torque converter is a unicorn horn. Way way on down the road I might convert my 424 over to a torque converter and I would...

A couple of weeks ago I posted a photo of a pair of Taco "22" mini bikes I purchased at a swap meet.....I am now started to look at these closely and found that the two have different types of serial numbers stamped on the frame......The first frame is stamped (large stamp) 8P2561 (Taco 22...

Are the covers the same between the different models? I can't tell from these pics...

I have h50 which is lighted. When I hold spark plug clip by itself to finger no spark When turning motor over. When I hold spark plug clip in hand and touch with finger while resting hand on engine block clip has spark to my finger. Is there a ground problem? Why would this be happening. Note...

Anybody know if the jack shaft on this kit can be swapped for a longer one? Thinking about converting my two Gilsons from single speed to 2 speed and I need 11 1/2" jack shaft length. thanks! #713845 UNIVERSAL COMET 2 SPEED CLUTCH KIT

Looking for dimensions of the stock tank, the remote ones located under the seat originally on the higher horsepower models. They look like they are hung on large worm type clamps? Shapes or pictures of the tank or any other tanks that would fit too would be much appreciated. I think I...

What the most camshaft you can put in a 212 non-hemi Predator without worrying about clearance issues? .308? Do you guys use ratio rockers on a big cam like that?

What model Rupps and approximately what year were originally a Mopar lime green. Frame looks like a Banchi but supposedly they were only yellow? Can't find any pics of it. Where would the model\id number be and how to decode? Recently picked up a roller frame cheap.

I fabbed up a straight pipe for my baja. Once on, without support, the pipe vibrates a lot. It this just the pipe flexing, or do engines actually move around some while running? I realize some sort of semi flexible mount is needed. My fear is that the vibration if mounted too firmly will...

What type of glue/epoxy is used to set the stationary pad onto the back half of the caliper. What (solvent I assume) can I use to remove the old pad material

Iv been doing some research on making a minibike trike. some say live axle sucks and some say to use a differential. is the live axle bad just because its hard to turn or does the axle bend or break. If i used a live axle and made it one wheel drive. wouldnt it turn easily. one wheel keyed...
