I am having a hard time locating 3.00 X 10 knobby tires for my rupps..Yes I know I can get them from the "Rupp" places but just wondering if there is a cheaper alternative?..I am running 2.50 X 10 tires that I can get here locally in Canada but I keep having tube punctures because the tire just...

Been having some real bad clutch chatter on the rupp kart that I modified for off road use..The kart accelerates well from a stop so I think the gearing is ok but at about 5mph or so it chatters hard for a second and then is fine after that...Can any tell me what is causing this?..Clutch is new...

I have been trying to get my 4hp rupp project started...It will start up but only runs about 2 or 3 seconds and quits..It will sometimes start every time you pull the cord but won't stay running..The govenor linkage is missing and i don't have a throttle cable so I can't try holding the...

Just wondering how people haul their mini's?...I have a pickup or a box trailer but it's always a bit of a struggle to get them tied down properly..Especially with two or three in tight quarters....I have been thinking of building some sort of rack system that could be slid into the back of the...

My rupp roadster has no cable or governor linkages and I am trying to figure out how it hooks up...It looks like the cable goes down to the little arm below but it seems like the cable would be on quite a severe angle unless the arm was pulled up pretty close to where the cable casing is...

All of the linkage and springs are missing from the rupp I just bought..I would love to see some pics of original rupp motors so I can get an idea of where the linkage and springs are supposed to go..The governor arm has many many holes in it so actual pics would be great..

The exhaust is totally missing on the rupp roadster project bike that I just got so I am curious how it goes together?..Does the pipe just slide over the little stub on the cylinder head?..If so how is it held in place?..Just the clamp at the rear under the seat?
