    Bridgestone/Rockford Chibi Piston or Cylinder needed

    I recently purchased a 78 Rockford Chibi with a Bridgestone 60cc engine that was seized by the previous owner. I have a stock sized piston, but the cylinder has been bored to the 1st over specs. So I either need a stock bore cylinder or a 1st over piston. I'll get pics soon

    5hp flathead smoking?

    I did use the correct grit honing stones however and used cast iron rings and Im sure that I counter rotated to rings. I didn't check the ring gap or cylinder bore. That valve have the correct clearance but I'm not sure about the guides. It runs like a top and always starts and I really dont...

    Crappy chinese atv

    I pulled off the starter and it was a mess. Bits of the magnets taken out, wires around the coil broken, so it looks like I found my culprit.

    The engine is not sized, I removed the side cover and was able to turn it over and it has compression.

    Crappy chinese atv

    i think it is a starter problem, I tried jumping the solonoid and all I got was a hot starter and some sparks. Its no big deal though, starters for these cheap chinese things are like $20.

I hooked up a fresh battery, turn on the ignition, and all I get is a click from the starter soloniod. Does this mean I have a bad solonoid, bad starter motor, or what? I...

    z50 headlight wiring

    My k3 z50 has no headlight and a broken switch. It originally had an on/off switch with 2 wires and the headlight as well had 2 wires.

    z50 guys, this one is for you.

    aftermarket carb for a 5 flathead

    you could run a briggs flo jet carb, it should bolt right on and they gravity feed instead of vacuum feeding like the pulsa jet.
