well, project is delayed. whoever said this was 35 chain was wrong. now I have to ship back the clutch and chain. does someone know the actual size chain I need? also, I need to order a twist throttle, can someone provide a link for a cheap set that would fit this bike?

So i've decided to stick with the classic look of this mini bike and keeping the small 3.5 tecumseh motor. Ordered a clutch and chain from OldMiniBikes ebay and should be in by tomorrow. Until then, i got onto new paint. Carolina Tarheel blue w/ white engine block and covers. Coming out good!

thanks for all the ideas! I figured I might as well use a bigger motor if I'm investing in a chain and clutch. I was thinking of using a good running 6.5 briggs engine off of a power washer I found at the same junkyard for 10 bucks. I assume I'd need a jackshaft to alighn it with the engine?

anyone happen to know the chain size for this bike? and should I install a bigger motor to move me around? (200lb)

finally, after a long cruddy winter, got out my mini bike for a test ride. Took it in to school and worked on it, and kept it there over the winter ( free dry storage! ). Modified the throttle (only went to half before at top speed, now its full ) adjusted the back wheel so i no longer need an...

Found a honda gx160 in the dumpster a while back. Still thinking of swapping the engine on my Cheeftah mini bike for the honda. Currently has a 99cc Predator with a new clutch and it runs great, id hate to get the honda on because id need to get a whole new clutch due to the different shaft...

so when i bought my cheeftah mini bike, the engine was placed in the origional engine brackets. The clutch that was on it at the time seemed to fit good. The old clutch had its teeth stripped so i bought a new one. When the new one went on, it didnt sit well with the chain. The chain bent to the...
