    Harbor Freight Clones New series

    to me, they look to be almost the same but with a bigger bore, its black instead of blue, the gas cap has swapped sides, and the air cleaner looks to be a bit less bulky. other than that i can't see much of a difference from the pictures on their site. however, more power is more power and...

    New 6.5 Clone mods

    ugh, i see where some peoples frustration with this site comes from... there's no need to be rude or short or try to take a stab at me. let's keep it civil. i was merely trying to relate everyone's position to him from one noob to another.

    New 6.5 Clone mods

    please do not take offense to anything i am about to say. i'm new here and new to the clone motors, but i took the time to read around and had most of my questions answered by doing that. just about every question you have has most likely been asked by someone else and if you just type in your...

    rejetting

    i left the idle jet alone when i found out that it was already the same size as the #77 but i did go on and drill out the main jet with a #65 and now i dont have to put the choke on more than about 50% and it runs much better and i dont have the carb problems i had before.

    rejetting

    ok, i managed to find a #77 and i'll be damned if the idle jet wasn't already bored to that diameter. the bit slid right in and out with next to no friction. now the main jet was a different story. i actually had to work a little to get the #65 through there, but i got it done with no...

    stock clone wont run

    i have disconnected the oil sensor as well as made sure that there is plenty of oil in it. so, low oil is probably not the problem. not to worry though i didn't cut the wire but rather i went into the little black harness and just disconnected it so that i would not void the warranty. other than...

    My Murray bike.

    that looks nice man. a neighbor of mine just gave me one of those out of the blue a few weeks ago and i'm looking to mod it before too long because it still has the original 3.5 tecumseh on it and a bit of rust here and there. hopefully i can get it looking as good as that. nice handle bars also.
