The Trail Horse is "Done enough for now"

Im new to minibikes and I have my Trail Horse on the tarmac now.
It was already orange when I bought it, With the 10" rupp wheels and some very tired Rupp tires,
The engine was an old Briggs with a leaking carb and other issues,
I had this orange Briggs I found at a flea for $10,
So I put it on, Installed a new clutch and chain, Cleaned up the bike, Added the flag so I can better watch my nephew and tossed a set of 3x10 scooter tires on it, (I should have gone 3.5 or 4" x 10", But they were cost effective and the little bike goes pretty well !
I bought a cheap clutch and I think a better clutch may help ? ? ?
I think it will do about 20+ on a flat surface hauling my 180 pounds around,
The round profile tires really helped, I dont know the rear gear off my head, BUT there was no way this little 2 HP? Briggs was about to go thru grass well, So I figured I try and drag the foot pegs.
The headlight is just for fun,
So,
Thanks for the help IDing the bike,
Im pretty happy to have it on the road!
Its a bit slower than my FLH but just about as much fun !

I kinda like the flat head motors and it was a big plus to find it at a Flea for $10 in good order,
Just wiped down and changed the oil and plug and was interesting how close the color match was to the Trail horse,
Its a bit bright,
But I like it!
