Before i had bought the car from my friend, he had done that, than moved so i couldn't get the normal hood. I rented a gear puller from my work(O'Reilly), and with PB Blaster, it came right off. It was the mid sized puller. And yes, when I cleaned the carb, there was like little blobs...

I had no problem taking the old bolt out. Tomorrow, I can pick up my new clutch from work, and a new chain from the lawn and garden store. MY question now, is that I think my gas tank might have crud in it. I cleaned the carb the other night, and the motor ran fine. Today when i pulled the...

When i took the chain off, i sprayed penetrating oil on like crazy, than had to chisel the master link off. I'm going to go spray more pb on the clutch and try the puller again!

Hello All! Last fall, I had picked up a neglected mini-bike from a very anti-social person. I got it running (tecumseh h35), and drove it around like crazy last fall. During the winter, I left it outside accidently. I have just had the first time since spring to work on it (school, wedding...

Hello! I am wondering on how you guys hook up headlights on your minibikes if you have them. I am thinking of putting a light on mine, but am not sure how to go about doing it. I was wondering if there is an electrical generator to put on there, or how it is done without a battery. Any...

Hello! I have a h35 on my mini bike, and got it fires up today for the first time. The only problem is that now that it runs, it was flooding really really badly. So we drained all the gas, and found out the float had gas in it. Does anyone have the part number for the float? Im gonna try...
