    TAV Problem?

    Hi Folks; Finally finished my Super Bronc VT1012 but I think I am having TAV problems. I bought the Bronc with an 8 hp Tecumseh. It had the 60 tooth sprocket on the rear. I ran it down the alley and I remember thinking "geez, this thing is SLOW!" Well, it will be better when I put the...

    Send me a PM with your email and address and I will send one that I have to you. It is an unused original super bronc speedometer head with NO drive cable or No drive unit (that attaches to the axel).

    Alternator Wiring 10 HP Tecumseh

    Alternator wiring I believe if a guy thinks about it long enough, it gets figured out. Most engines {like on a snow blower} have one green wire coming from under the flywheel to the throttle lever. Once this throttle lever is closed {lowered to its lowest setting} it grounds the system out...

    Alternator Wiring 10 HP Tecumseh

    Still Need Alternator Wiring Help Well, the good news is that I did not fry anything (that I know of). The engine is still throwing a spark. I sure could use someones expert help though. I have attached a really simple wiring diagram that I just need help in completing. My key switch...

    Alternator Wiring 10 HP Tecumseh

    Sorry guys...I had the wires crossed coming from the alternator. DUH! Hopefully I did not cause damage with that little poof of smoke!

    Alternator Wiring 10 HP Tecumseh

    Electrical Guru's; I mounted the brand new 10 HP on the Super Bronc today. I attempted to make some final wire connections and when trying to hood up the alternator, there was a spark and a poof of smoke. OH NO! I have two wires coming from the engine from the alternator...a red one and a...

    Almost There Super Bronc!

    Sorry...the exhaust was sold some time ago. Seems to me a new replacement is available on line somewhere. I was thinking the other day. How hard would it be to have a metal bending outfit make up some new fenders? Perhaps those machines have moveable rollers so the shape could be matched. A...

    Almost There Super Bronc!

    Holy cow...its been nearly three years. I am almost done with my VT-10 rebuild. It had been powder coated now...a dark blue frame with black wheels and fenders. It looks pretty sharp. Next week I will roll it up from the basement and install the 10 hp Tecumseh. After that its the custom...

    Gas Tank To Gas Tank Connection

    Hi Guys; Tried to do some searching on here regarding this but could not find anything. My VT 10 Super Bronc project is coming along. I have one of the original super bronc gas tanks (that sits on top of the frame) that I would like to connect to the 10 hp tecumseh gas tank. Has anyone...

    Super Bronc Project

    Wow what a long, drawn out project...but I am hanging in there. Either you have no time or no money. I am pretty pumped up now because I just took delivery of my brand new 10 HP Tecumseh model number LH358XA-159538. Ok so I dropped $450 but she's a beauty! I am starting to mock up the stuff...

    Super Bronc Project

    Here are a few more photos of the parts I have accumulated. The fenders, like all used bronc fenders, have to be sandblasted and re-chromed or powdercoated. I will probably have them powdercoated silver instead of the chrome. More than likely, I will have the frame powdercoated in some shade...

    Super Bronc Project

    Its time for me to finally post a project log on my super bronc VT-10 project. I bought a bronc about a year ago and am rebuilding it. I am in the "parts accumulation phase". It is taking quite a while because $$$ is not always available. I want to have a street legal bronc just for riding...
