thanks, ludicrous speed.... and thank you for your service to our Nation, also!

What a gripping story- I'm sorry that u had many years without your father's prescience and influence... I'm sure you turned out fine in spite if it all, but it's tough to live with regrets.... I am a 28 year career Marine myself, I'm glad you agreed to be part of his burial detail..... Such an...

well, that's what they taught me after nearly 28 years (okay, 27 yrs, 7 months and 29 days) in the Marine Corps! the only dumb question is the one not asked.... anyway, my brake caliper was twisting slightly, and it WAS binding the disc, but ONLY when I rolled it backwards.... so I went to...

it's all put back together and it runs like a champ! thanks to all for the info/trouble-shooting suggestions!

well it turns out that the rear hydraulic disc brake caliper mounting bracket is "twisting" when I roll the bike backwards- as I have to do to get it out of the tight space where it is stored- and thusly the disc is "grabbing" when the whole assembly rotates only a few degrees.... this is being...

Allright- is there a rebuild kit readily available that has all the things I might need?

will your minibike roll backwards?? Mine won't; or, at least, not now. I had a long layoff due to a foot injury, and haven't ridden in a long while, so I'm de-gunking my carb now, and when I tried to roll it backwards, the back tire just skidded. I checked the hyd disc brake to see if it was...

So the float needle was so gunked up that it was literally almost glued inside the chamber.... I got it unstuck and had to scrap it off with a toothpick! It's not back together yet as I had to go to work; maybe Friday then I'll give a report....

ok, now I've got it, the float valve needle is the most likely culprit. thanks for the help!

Yes, petcock is open, fuel fills the petcock strainer when turned to ON. Does the needle screw into the hole at the bottom of the carb? or is it held in by a spring?

okay then, thanks for the info, how do I clean the needle?

hey guys and gals, after a long layoff due to a foot injury, I rolled the 'ol Baja out of the garage and tried to start her up.... to no avail ! She's got the 6.5 china clone Greyhound engine in her. She's been sitting up for the better part of a year, yep she had Sta-bil in the gas tank and it...

that looks awesome!

I need street tires, too- where do you get sawtooths and what do they look like?

hey I just want to say that u guys rock for helping all of us out that have questions... my DB was down, and several helped w/suggestions....turned out to be a sheared flywheel key....many thanks fellow minibike enthusiasts!!!
