Somebody gave me this Manco minibike today. He wanted to restore it one day but had to be honest with himself - it wasn't gonna happen. So now I am going to restore it one day! Apparently, this thing was put against a tree years ago and forgotten. The tree trunk literally grew around it with the...

The labels on the floor are only warning labels with NO reference to a company or brand. The steering wheel just has a silver disk in the middle, no logo or writing. Thanks for your input.

That must be it. Thanks much!

Not by me "yet". I just rolled it off the trailer. Haven't gotten "into" it yet. I did take it for a test run at the PO place.

I am trying to find karts online (Google images) that have a front suspension like this one (pictured). Hoping to identify parts.

I have been in the market for awhile now, looking for an adult sized go kart. I had an friend/acquaintance sell me this one. But he bought it used and doesn't know the brand. There are no markings on it. It runs very well. Just hoping to identify a model or brand for parts. Any guesses? It has a...

So tonight, I went to Harbor Freight to look around. Normally, when I need an engine, I pick up a 212. But the Hemi version is never in stock. However, tonight, I wasn't even looking to buy an engine and there were two (2) Hemi's on the shelf. Hot Dog! The store was about to close and I live...

I did notice that a new Predator 212 at Harbor Freight is now up to $139.99, But that would include exhaust and an air filter!

If I were in the market, I would buy that bike for $400. But to say that the engine alone is worth $300 is misleading. As mentioned above, they are trying to take advantage of somebody who doesn't know any better. If somebody who doesn't know any better does buy it, they will be telling their...

If I wanted to sell it with those upgrades, I would certainly mention it in the ad. You can see the stage 1 upgrade but that alone doesn't make it worth $300. I just know that I won't be buying it.

I asked my bride what color she would like "her" bike to be. She said that she liked blue. Since most of the bike started black, I needed a shade of blue that would "pop" with the black accents. I am happy with the results.

Spent the day in the shop getting the "Mega Moto 212" finished. Unfortunately, I don't think this bike will ever be available again. I bought it from gopowersports. At the time, they had limited stock. Now they are out of stock. Coleman now makes a bike with the Mega Moto frame, but not all of...

You might want to find a donor engine or a short block to rebuild it. Use as many original parts as you can off of the original engine.

Well, that confirms the need for keeping it on the shelf! "Sorry, Honey, it won't fit on the mini-bike. It will just have to stay on the shelf."

This one is NOS and is going to collect dust in my home office.

My recent purchase of an older Asuza mini bike came with a 6HP Tecumseh. That is too much power for my son (for now). I decided to purchase a Predator 79cc from Harbor Freight - approximately 3HP. As I was poking around in the shed, I came across an engine that was given to me that I forgot...

When I took it down for the pictures, I made sure the shaft turned.

Back when Sears decided to stop selling engines, a friend of mine bought a close out Tecumseh engine for $10. After sitting in his garage for years, he decided to give it to me. Now it sits in my office looking pretty. It has never been used or even had oil put into it (unless the factory put a...
