    Just picked this up off Craigslist. It has a newer 5hp Tecumseh. Its mostly complete including the high speed forks, skateboard wheel chain tensioner (which looks like its in the wrong place anyway) and 12 point socket welded to the frame for some unknown reason :shrug: The frame looks like it...

    Tecumseh 2 smoker

    So I picked this tecumseh 2 stroke up today, for $10. It looks hardly used. Does anyone know what its off of, or what HP it is? Would it be powerful enough to do anything cool with?

    Quick clone question

    Ok so I got a clone in a trade but I can't tell if its a 5.5 or a 6.5hp. I know its a jaingdong it whatever. Is measuring the stroke the only way to tell which it is? And if so what would the measurements be, I searched but couldn't find anything about it. Thanks

    Engine mounted at angle?

    I was wondering what the purpose is of mounting engines at an angle like on some minis, like on some rupps, Scat cats or bird nighthawks. Just for looks? Also does it effect the oiling?

    Now it runs, now it doesn't

    Ok so I was riding my mini earlier for about 20 min..got a few blocks from my house...and it dies. Went to start it, and it starts on the first pull like always. Idles fine all day long but as soon as I even attempt hit the gas it dies. So I got stuck pushing it home. So what do you think, dirt...

    Just picked this up today..gonna do a build thread on it. It's a Scat cat..and that's all I know about it. I haven't seen many of these on here. Might not start on it for a while as I got another project to finish first. Any ideas for a color scheme?

    Has anyone got a 5hp Briggs to mount on a Bird Duck frame with the stock carb still on it..AND use an air cleaner and be able to remove the spark plug? When I got the bike it had a 6" piece of the frame missing so the carb would even fit. I got it all welded back together and am trying to...

    Clone or Briggs carb

    Does anyone have an old carb they would let go for cheap that would work good on a 5hp briggs( stock now, may lightly mod).

    What causes paint to do this?

    Ok so I painted my K&S Hornet frame the other day with some yellow krylon paint, then today I went out to clear coat it. I used some Rustoleum clear..and a few seconds after I spayed it all the paint started lifting and crinkling. What causes this? Different brands of paint? It really pissed...

    Anyone use these tires on a mini?

    No Start...help!

    Ok so here goes. I just had my clone apart to remove the governor and install a billet rod, put it all back together and now it won't start...or even attempt to do so. Even with starting fluid the best I could get was a back fire. So I pulled it apart to male sure the cam and crank were lined...
