    Paddle brake, chrome chainguard

    Not sure what it is. Mostly got it as a rolling chassis for a gx200 clone and better brakes. Should I restore it instead?

    clutch nut

    As I have dainty hands, I found the air impact wrench really did the job.

    DoodleBug Performance Jackshaft

    Install too easy to video, just one tip though Got my Promod Jackshaft kit for my new DB30! The instructions were very thorough and the install was very easy (I was going to do a video, but it seemed kinda silly to just video me using a socket wrench). The only headscratcher was getting...

    Yerf Dog mini at Sears

    It's being sold by a drop ship seller not by Sears. SpectrumSuperStore finds vendors that will drop ship and he adds on his premium and then submits the order for you. The outfit has 45000 items for sale! Better luck finding out who the actual vendor is (could call spectrum super store and...

    I remember seeing that for the first time in 3d grade (about four decades ago) and I nearly fell over in my chair!

    New record low price for the HF 6.5?

    Loadedlarry is the userid that wrote it up. Overall, it was thought to be a favorable swap for moderate power for kids. http://www.oldminibikes.com/forum/doodlebug-minibikes/45056-anyone-sucessfuly-did.html...

    New record low price for the HF 6.5?

    I think a lot of these motors will be clearanced on the 6/10-12 HF parking lot sale. Lots of weird things that have been discontinued get trotted out. If you are anInside Track Club member, you can start shopping at 0700 instead of with the unwashed masses at 0800. I picked up an HF 2.5 motor...

    Mini bike at Pep Boys

    Hmm looks different from the new Doodlebug and more like the old DB's. No headtube gussets and has metal fenders. Toptubes not bent. Kickstand on the right. Looks like a winner. What were they asking for it where you are?

    Getting started with minibiking, loud clanging from clutch and no power.

    @ski_bum_81: Thanks for the tip. I used a crummy old bike chain tool to push out the intact pin on the chain. It looks like this link failed as a result of poor manufacturing. I ended up replacing that link with a master link and it runs fine. The chain is a bit tight and the rear wheel runs...

    New record low price for the HF 6.5?

    Pretty decent price, but cash and carry worked even better! They would only let me buy 4 though, that day. Odd that the 66015 is being shown as in-stores only, but the 66014 CARB-blessed engine is back to its $180 price without any restrictions. Maybe they will be phasing out the 49 state...

    Getting started with minibiking, loud clanging from clutch and no power.

    Thanks for the quick replies. I was going to try tinkering with the throttle but decided to look under the clutch cover one more time...and nearly fell over. When I was oiling the clutch bushing at assembly, this part of the chain must have been hiding under the chainguard. :ohmy...
  17. Lowest price ever on the HF 6.5 engines

    Lowest price ever on the HF 6.5 engines

    This was a combination of the $75 clearance price with the 20% off of purchase greater than $100 coupon on the 5/12/2011-5/15/2011 weekend. The maximum number of engine purchases allowed during the clearance was 4.

    chain with incomplete pin insertion

    Found this when assembling bike and lubricating the clutch bushing. Guess it was made on a Friday.

    Getting started with minibiking, loud clanging from clutch and no power.

    I found the last two Sears Doodlebug minibikes in my area (SoCal SGV) for $170 and picked up my maximum allotment of four HF 6.5 clone CARB-blessed engines for $60 bucks a pop. I will be putting most of the motors away for storage and for a Troy Horse tiller at the ranch. One will be for Dad's...

    Midlife crisis by proxy with 2 DB30's

    Well, here I am into my fifth decade of life and the Son and Heir wants to ride and fix things. Picked up 2 DB30's on sale from Sears for $170 each and will be getting those CARB-blessed HF 6.5's before they are discontinued ($79 each for now). I thought I was gonna get the Boy a Honda XR50...
