removal

I've seen several posts about how difficult it is to remove Rupp wheel bearings (1971 Rupp Roadster 2, 12-inch wheels). Several people say to bang them out from the opposite side, but there is virtually no lip to bang on. Secondly, there appears to be a cup/retainer in front of the bearing...

My son is currently restoring a 1970 Rupp Roadster. He was ready to disassemble the engine and inspect the internals in anticipation of a total rebuild. We learned a lot from others (Thank you!) searching previous threads about the "head's up" with the need to first remove the crankshaft circlip...

Engine won't start now So I removed the governor today, made sure the cam dot lined with crank dot upon reassembly. I made sure the new linkage kit allowed throttle to return normal and it did. I checked spark and it's there. Fuel tank is full..... Motor turns easy by hand and sounds...

I had a tough time dismantling my Rupp Roadster2 forks. They were as rusted as any I have seen and 45 years of rust make for a real challenge. I asked for some help and saw several articles, but I was concerned about the damage that could occur with most suggestions. Several notes advise to...

I picked up a BearKat this past summer and finally got around to working on it. It's actually in pretty good working order aside from a stuck valve, but I'm going to go ahead and rebuild it anyway. However, I can't seem to get the flywheel off -- or rather, I can't seem to figure out how it...

How the heck do you pop out the front wheel bearings from a Baha Warrior/Heat? Can't hammer them out from the inside, can't pull them out from the outside. What's the trick???

This is my first minibike and I am going to remove the governor. I have been doing a lot of research but I am getting confused with all these parts. The engine is a 212cc predator non hemi. 1) I am getting a billet flywheel and billets rod. Is #ARC6254 3.308" the stock rod size? 2) I...

I'm getting my billet parts in about 1-2 weeks... I wanted to remover the governer but didn't want to take out the whole linkage... I can just take the little plastic gear out correct?

This Christmas I am looking to remove my hemi predator 212 governor. I bought this engine a few months ago.. Anyways I want to know what flywheel, timing, billit rod, cam, valve springs, gaskets, anything else I need... I want to know what to get. I won't need any help with installation as I...

Hey guys, any idea on how to get this sprocket off?? Is it pressed on?

Any good ideas for getting the backplate off the shaft without cracking it? I've had the motor on its side for abt two weeks with PB Blaster soaking inside. Went to hook up a puller and one side is too close to the motor to get the hook of one of the pullers arms under it. So i tried to pry it...

Title says it all. How do I get this thing out and what bearings are used? I have an idea on the removal but want conformation before moving forward. Looks like you just remove the sprocket and push the shaft out from right to left (sitting on bike). As for the bearings I am sure there are...

What do you guys use for removal of old layers of paint?

Any ideas to remove them,?

Let me preface this by saying that I have not disabled the governor yet but I plan on doing so only after I have all the necessary parts. Anyhow here are my questions. 1. Instead of physically removing the governor arm and gear from the engine, could you just leave it inside of the engine...

How would I go about removing the speed limiter on a motovox mbx10? Thanks!

Hey guys I could really use some help I'm trying to restore this bike as close to original. Hasent been hard being that the gote was in awesome shape to begin with. I'm trying to take the pulley off the worm drive and I can't get the back half off that is Hooked to the high low rod. Looks like...

Hi everyone! Starting my 3rd mini bike project :) This project I have a tecumseh h70 engine for. The issue I'm having is trying to remove the carb to rebuild. The nuts hold the carb on spin but the bolts are spinning with the nuts. Really isn't any room to put a pair of vise grips on the bolts...

I decided to try my hand at this. I've been watching the videos for a while and it looks like an easy risk-free way to remove rust and layers of paint. I had a few things laying around that needed rust removal, but before I dove in, I decided to test it on a few pieces that I could stand to...
