    NEW HF 6.5 HP Greyhound engines

    I have two NIB HF Greyhound 6.5 HP engines. I have opened the box of one engine and removed it and looked at it. The second engine is still sealed in the original shipping box with shipping straps. I also have two 49 state gas tanks for these engines. I am asking $100 each for the...

    2003 Honda XR80 - $680

    Sorry this is not an old classic but it IS a great little bike. My kids out grew it and it has not been ridden in years. I have started it on a regular basis and kept fresh gas in it. It is in outstanding mechanical condition. It is a used dirt bike though so it has a few scratches on the...

    What should I do to my 5HP?

    OK I just picked up a 5HP B&S. It runs OK, does not smoke but seems a bit rich. This is going into a custom Taco 22 that I am building. The goal is to have a nice reliable rider with plenty of low end power and longevity - not a drag bike. I want to use an electronic ignition. I just...

    Where can I buy a wheel/rim spacer?

    Well I know I have seen them in past years but now I am unable to find a spacer to widen a wheel for a 6" wheel. Found some for 5" wheels but that does me no good. Thanks

    Warrior or Doodle Bug

    Which would you get or which did you get and why? I have a clone that is looking for a home. I have been leaning towards the Doodlebug just because I like the looks of it (Yes I like the looks of the new DB). Anyway, before I actually pulled the trigger I thought I would get some input...

    How tall are the new Pedator engines?

    Does anyone know how tall the new HF Predator engines are? Both the 6.5 hp and the 3.5 hp. I have read read at least 7 threads on these engines and the on-line manuals but I can not find a measurement for the overall height. Thanks

    Stuck (rusted) fork sliders

    Ok guys, I am hoping someone has dealt with this before and that I am missing something. I purchased a Taco 22 frame and fork. One of the PO decided to just throw the whole thing (assembled) into the powder coating booth and spray it down. I am trying to disassemble the forks. The first...

    Are there any NEW engine under 13" tall?

    Does anyone currently make a nice little minibike/gokart type engine that is say 12.5" tall INCLUDING the gas tank? Everything I find for BS and Tecumseh are all 14.5" and up. I have right at 13.5" on one frame and 13" on the other. Sure, I can run a remote gas tank but it would be so nice...

    School me on BS 5HP engines

    I have a project in which I am going to want to in stall an "older" BS 5HP engine but for the most part I don't know anything about them. For instance, I think I would like one with roller bearings on both ends of the crank but I don't know what year or model number to look for. Also, I...

    What engines fit in a Taco 22 frame?

    Sorry if this is a stoopid question but I am new to the mini bike game and I will soon be building a Taco 22. I have just the frame and forks (1969) so basically it is a blank canvas. I am NOT looking to build an all original minibike, I just want a nice rider but I am not going to hack up or...
