Go powers on a square tube Mini bike… never would I have thought they were original. Thanks @Lizardking for making the advertisement post. Nice bike you have there @Beng360

I see that the re-pop ones are being offered with a two wire toggle switch. Are the originals two wires or a one wire self grounding toggle switch?

Back in the day… just wanted to go fast and have fun. The seat was not a big deal.

Been liking Owosso’s for a while… never knew they made this model. I like it.

Like it… Have several cool engines that are screaming for a self made project like that…

Works great on removing heavy grease / oil buildup. I have always used it as the first step. Never painted after just a water rinse. Step 2 would be to use wipe down with acetone or lacquer thinner to remove any oily film. To just spray a cleaner, water rinse and then paint…not sure what to use.

Might be handy to use as a leaf blower

Wish I still had some thing that I bought when 12 years old… Nice job came it so clean!

Thumbs up for the 70s metal flake!

Hard to tell from the pictures if the Recoil is there. If it is, treat it gently. They are the weakest part on the engine and a very hard part to fine. Bing carburetor parts are out there for sale just need to keep an eye out.

Build them both… was your original Homebuilt Mini Bike powered by a REO? If so, I would start with that one but maybe add some more safety features. Just an opinion. Both sound like enjoyable projects.
