Is anyone else fed up with people literally just joining to hock their crap? I've noticed a few lately that have been doing that. Maybe I'm a little bit sensitive, but it's just rude as hell. Figured I'd throw it out there, see if it bothers anyone else. It's just sh*tty that people...

Benelli Mini Bike

I recently picked up a very nice HM100 for free off of my neighbor who just wanted it out of the garage. It actually runs nicely, but could probably use a good carb cleaning. It's an iron bore, and gets great compression. Now if I remember correctly, the Star is a (albeit heavily) modified...

Vintage Experimental Homelite String Trimmer FS!!!

18 HP Twin Cylinder Motor Comes with a belt clutch. Apparently ready to rock. (Not really digging the plumbing aisle exhaust system, but hey...)

Anyone have a list of recommended builds & mods for a 212 (hemi). Obviously, the billet rod & flywheel are going to be first. Not looking for an all-out build, but just a little bit more in the way of oomph for a 125cc sized bike paired up with a TAV. Something to top out at 40-45mph...

Figured this would be appropriate for the engine section. Kind of a "what to avoid" thread for some of the less knowledgeable or newer members here. So: what was the worst small engine you had, and why? Reliability, durability, etc.

So I've finally decided to bite the bullet & buy a 212 for my upcoming, ham-handed bastardization of a ultra-mega-super valuable, worth 6-figures GENUINE 1985 Kawasaki KX125 frame (made only for one year!) :wink: So before heading out to Harbor Freight, what are the differences between the two...

Just got back into painting things. Most recently, I just did a motorized bicycle (China girl) tank. Wire-wheeled all of the nasty black oil paint which was bubbling & flaking) off, soldered the joint between the mounting bolts & the welded lock-nuts inside of the tank, muriatic acid dip (to get...

Anyone have a tape measure & a couple engines handy? I'm thinking about shoehorning a big Predator into an '85 KX125 frame much like another forum member did a while ago with another dirtbike. Looking for the general height, width, & depth (engine mounting base dimensions would be...

Selling off the KX125 engine I have for sale. The jug that's on it currently is the later version with the exhaust port facing straight out (1988-whenever of the same vintage). New gaskets all the way around, brand new top end. Cylinder on this one has an iron bore (yay!). Comes with...

So, a couple of days ago, I picked up a basketcase of a 1985 KX125. So anyway, the bike was advertised as all there, just needing to be assembled because the guy needed money for truck parts. Working a full time job & a part time job, Ok, no problem. I've been there & it sucks. Engine was...

Kustom mini bike 212cc brand new engine! :out:

So... anyone ever run a TAV on one of these 79cc Predators? 3 HP (79cc) OHV Horizontal Shaft Gas Engine I have a couple koop-ons, and so do my friends and I... and I'm thinking about picking this little guy up for a boardtrack racer project. I figure I can get it for cheap enough. :wink...

Anyone here have any experience with the Yamaha XJ's (namely 550's)? I picked up an '81 with 16k on the clock that needs valvetrain TLC (looooots of it) for a $100 bill. Rest of the bike is in good, but not great shape. Transmission is immaculate. Anyone know of any parts sources? :smile:

Anyone have experience with Supertech's 2 stroke oil? Wally world brand is cheap cheap cheap. Ran several gallons through the china girl at 32:1 with the stuff without a hitch (fortunately, china girls will probably run on water if you crank them hard enough). I run Amsoil in my saws, but...

So, my girlfriend, being such the sweetie she is, bought me a used Baja Warrior for X-mas. The good part: frame & running gear are super, super sweet. Bad part: The predator that came on it (was probably a replacement someone slapped on there) is SHOT. Knocks, eats oil like crazy, &...

2.50HP & 3.0B&S for sale. 2.50HP engine currently has tecumseh carb & intake on it. Runs GREAT. (I will include the original suction carb + tank & breather minus filter... filter disintegrated). $40. 3.0HP is 100% stock. Comes with hot-dog filter. Broken rewind spring. Runs, but needs a...

Not quite a minibike (this is an old photo), but hey, 42mph max top speed, & street legal in CT without reg or insurance... you only need a driver's license. I pulled an average of 110mpg when cruising at 28mph. I had just under 4000 miles on this engine before the bearings finally ate...

So, this evening I stubbed my toe on the kitchen table, and it really, really hurt. I think it's stopped hurting, but I'm not really sure, I think I'll be disabled from it though, because it hurts every time I step on it. My eye hurts too after I rubbed it because it itched. Every waking moment...
