    Chain stretch

    So just how much will a #35 chain stretch (came with a kit)? It seems everyday I have to move the engine/take out a link. Is there no end? I suppose I will have to bite the bullet for the good stuff. How much do the high $ chains stretch? Replies appreciated. B

    Kill Switch

    I have read several threads pertaining to this matter yet there is always something (wrong color wire, different hook up, etc.) that just doesn't seem right. Here is my clone: As you can see I have the oil sensor disconnected (2 yellow wires. 1 from block, 1 from brass box). There is...

    86 stock plug!

    I've been having trouble getting my new clone to run right. I've had the carb apart 4 times (still may have petcock issue), I've drilled a small hole in the gas cap, I've cussed.

    AGK throttle linkage kit

    Having some issues with said kit. Return spring doesn't really return. My throttle cable is too short and won't reach where it is suposed anchored. Also, the screw/anchor is too small for the hole it is shown to go in. Are the springs used anymore that attach to the (govenor?) arm that comes out...

    Gas cap clearance?

    Got my 6.5 clone in the frame today and the gas cap has about 2.5" of crap under it so it will not come off when the engine is mounted. Anyone know of a flush mount cap with nothing under it that will work on the Greyhound? Thanks guys, B.

    Harbor Freight Engines

    As much as I try to avoid Harbor Freight, they are having a sale on 6.5 hp engines next weekend for $109. Not sure if it will fit (Duster Mx) , it's gonna be tight near the rear of the frame, but otherwise the height is good. Anyone use these engines before (6.5 or otherwise)? I think they are...

    Engine size

I have seen a thread that Leathernun666 posted and he had a 5.5 hp engine (don't know brand) in a Duster. Would like to know what engines are compatable without too much modification. Gonna...
