    I'm back! With another mini bike find.

    Its a little too wide. Like, when the 212 is lined up with the original holes, and the clutch is inwards, everything lines up PERFECT. Except the footbrake pedal....its like 2 inches too far in, the flywheel housing is pushing it. So im thinking of using the brake lever and cable, and using a...

    Rupp Trial Mini Bike

    Okay. So. My motor. The (most likely) 5hp Briggs Flathead. We had it running. but now, we have the huge issue of even pull starting, and it not firing, with gas leaking out of everywhere on the carb. Also, it has no governor, nothing, at all, so that is bad. and also there is chips in the...

    New Engine for my mini

    Okay. If anyone read my old(ish, being a week ago), I got a old trailhorse with a 5Hp Briggs L Head. Long story short, way too much is wrong with it. It runs, but has a ton of other problems. For the price of repair, I can and will buy a new one. I wanna stick with a Briggs, but what are some...

    Tires and Rims Setup

    Hello all. Okay, so I recently picked up a Rupp Trailhorse. It has the original back and front axle, and original I guess split front turbine rim, and the center. So front is perfectly fine. But then the back. I cannot find the split rim part for the 14x6 tire. So im looking toward just your...

    Rupp Trial Mini Bike

    I can move the engine forward. It has those slotted slots, if that makes sense. So today. I drained the oil and refilled, and attempted to get it started. Its not starting...It seems to not be sparking, cause nothing is happening. -_- So time to figure it out. Probably the spark plug, even...

    Rupp Trial Mini Bike

    Okay. After more looking into parts. Few questions (:P), 1. What breaks would work? Are band brakes okay? Or is that sketchy? And when doing drum brakes, you weld them to the sprocket right? Brakes are very confusing to me. 2. So on the back axle, it contains pretty much spacers where the...
