This is a good deal.. Somebody better jump on it. I've got a streaker with the 3.5hp and it's got plenty of power for the size. I can't imagine it with a 6hp.... Hold on tight.

This breaks my heart to see this bike cannibalized, but I guess if you own it it's yours to what you want.... By the way I think Joel is selling a west bend for $350 in the parts section. The one on ebay is $499. vintage west bend engine minibike ruttman bonanza go kart mucculloch scta | eBay

Will, Got the one you sent. Looks like it's never been used. Someone better jump on the last one.. Thanks, Kevin

I guess I'll shelve this one for now. It'll be worth a fortune when I'm gone and my kids can become rich off of it... I'm filling a lot of shelves.:scooter:

All right, now I'm confused. I do live south of the Mason Dixon line but obviously not far enough south. :laugh: Buck three eighty five? Is that $3.85 or $1.385 (like at the gas station)?

Thanks of the input. I'll give it a try. Any ideas on what an engine like this should sell for?

I've got a 70's H35 that runs and idles good. Just tuned up and rebuilt carb. The problem is that when not running, gas will run out of the back of the carb. The cheap fix has been a gas shutoff valve at the tank. My guess is something not seated correctly and allowing gas to push by in the...

Very Nice Looking Bike.... The only thing I would maybe be concerned about is the slotting of the rear tire chain adjustment. Looks like the tire sits a little far back. But very nice!:thumbsup:

I hesitated at first for the same reason. For me, it wasn't really what I was looking for. I wanted something "vintage", but as it turns out this little bike looks really well made and only a few spots on the forks needing touch up. Engine started on the second pull. This bike was well...

Thanks for the reply. I think dead on with it being a streaker. I've seen some manco streakers with more plastic. Maybe the guy that owned it originally removed. Any ideas on the year? The engine serial starts with 8, which I believe is the last digit in the year. 78, 88, or 98. I don't...

Just purchased this little manco. I'm trying to find out year made. Serial number on bike is 1488762 and engine number is H35-452809 ser 8265B. I bought this off ebay and the seller was great to deal with. His member id is boondocks197 and i'd recommend. It has some plastic fenders that I...

brake from bottom of frame

Thanks for the great replies. This little engine has a lot of torque for the size. It can direct drive a 8" auger 3 ft into VA clay in about 2 min. I would think it ought to turn a mini bike wheel. I also plan to put about a 12:1 ratio jackshaft kit on and use a small frame.

I did not draft any of the surfaces mainly because the original one I have doesn't seem to be drafted. It's got nice flat sides for the bolt an nut to tighten down against. But, if you think it needs draft i can add to the next one i make?
