The first one is a nice Sears bike, not sure if this one had an actual model name. It came with a 3hp Briggs and some modifications to get that motor to work. I had an extra Tecumseh hs40 on the shelf that I put on the bike instead. With the exception of the chain guard being modified and a few...
I picked this one up today. It's got some rust but it looks like most of it is surface and will clean up pretty well. Other than the carburetor being changed (wrong choke arm) it looks like it's all original down to the nice good year tires. The engine serial numbers are early 1970 and it's got...
I'm looking for an HS40 block with a good cylinder bore and valve guides that aren't worn out. Also looking for a slanted intake pipe. Let me know what you have.
Thanks,
Chad
I found another speedway scorpion a couple days ago and picked it up today. It's got most of the hard to find parts. The chrome isn't as good as the pics look but it does have the correct lighted HS40(wrong shroud), a complete torque converter setup with a good belt, a good clutch cover and the...
I just picked this bike up today. It had been listed on cl for several weeks before I bought it. (Someone on here posted a thread about it) I couldn't resist when the seller all of the sudden dropped the price to $125. The front forks need some love but the bike looks complete and it appears to...
The weather is finally coming around in Minnesota. We spent the afternoon riding these bikes. The Wards on the far right isn't mine. I got a friend of mine interested last summer and he just picked that one up cheap a couple weeks ago. It's a good rider for now. Today was the first real ride...
Here are a few pics of the engines I just finished restoring. The black one is an HS40 with lighted coil from my 71 speedway scorpion and the white one is a '66 Briggs 3hp from my Fox Campus. The Hs40 was a pretty extensive rebuild with new piston, rings, valves and gaskets. The Briggs was in...
I'm trying to get the H25 on my Rupp Chopper running before I proceed with my build and not matter what I try it will not run off idle. It will sit there and idle all day long but the second you give it any throttle it start to pop and sputter like it's flooding and will not come out of it. If I...

I'm looking for a Briggs side cover for a mid 60's 4hp Briggs. I believe a 5hp cover will work too. I need the one with the 4 bolt holes in the square pattern around the shaft to mount a taco clutch guard. Thanks, Chad
Does anyone know the part number of the Rupp clutch bell used on the Chopper/Cub models with the Tec H25? It has an 11 tooth sprocket for 5/8" shaft and its a smaller overall diameter than the average centrifugal clutch. Mine has most of the teeth broken off so I'm looking for either an original...
Here is my entry in the build off. The 1969 Rupp Chopper I picked up last week. This is my first time entering the build off in what looks to be a crowded "vintage class" with some really cool other bikes so I'll have my work cut out. With a couple weeks off the clock already there's no time to...
I picked this gem today in a barn right outside my hometown. A couple weeks before Christmas my dad told me he saw this mini bike in a barn that is rented for storage by the company he works for. I called the guy that owns the barn and it turns out the bike is owned by his brother so he told me...
Just wondering if anyone is getting any parts chromed soon? I have a front fender for a speedway scorpion that needs new chrome. Seems like nobody near me does custom chrome work or they ship it somewhere else. If anybody has parts going soon I would ship the fender to you and have it done with...
Looks like a nice frame for $50. And it doesn't even have "high speed forks".....yet. Too small for my taste
