    Flea market find

    Hit a flea market today while in the Cleveland area. I scored this vintage edger. It was one of those, didn't need it, but had to have it, love at first sight purchases. Nice old Italian guy wanted $150, but I got it for $100. He fired it right up, and it runs great. It's a 3hp #80202. I'm...

    B&S gasket questions

    So I picked up some new gaskets for my 2.25 hp engine. One is a carb to gas tank gasket. Do I just bolt it straight on or do I also need some sort of adhesive too in addition to the gasket? Also, I bought a new intake basket but I noticed there were TWO double stacked when I took it off. I...

    Parts companies?

    So I need some gaskets, carb and gas tank parts for my 1968 B&S 60202 engine (2.25hp). Parts Tree showed that they had all of the parts I needed, but before I placed my order I checked their reviews and a lot of them weren't too pretty. Question: Who do you order from that you have been happy...

    Seat Upholsterer

    Can anyone recommend a good upholstery shop that YOU HAVE USED in the past that could redo my seat. The shops around my area are either not good or not trustworthy or both. I'm hoping to keep the bike as original looking as possible. The existing one from 1968 has rips and holes pretty much on...

    Brake Band help

    Ok Folks, I'm ready to attempt to work on my brakes. I ordered a new clutch and brake band. Since my bike is a bit unusual, because a foot pedal controls the clutch, I'm going to have to try to fashion the new band to look like the old one. See pictures. I'm hoping to drill out the three weld...

    Pulley removal help

    Ok, so I'm trying to remove this pulley that was on the mini bike when I bought it, so I can put on my new clutch. I took out the Allen screw, but am having a hard time removing the clutch key. I tried pounding it inward along the groove with a hammer and punch. It only went so far then...

    A use for your old small tires

    Wasn't sure what section to post this in but I saw a neat idea today in a gift shop on how to repurpose your old small tires. The tires on my mini bike and side cart are very small so they would be perfect. Sorry, slow day. Lol.

    IT'S ALIVE!!! 1968 B&S engine is up and running

    So I've been slowly getting my Little Gen back in order after it had been sitting for so many years. I had dropped the original 1968 B & S 2.5 hp engine off at the local hardware shop where they do a lot of mower repairs. They cleaned out the gas tank, carb and fuel line. Put in an electronic...

    Tires and tubes

    Ok, next rookie question... In order to put new tubes in one of these tires I'm guessing I need to take the four nuts off and the rims come apart in two? Any idea if this "C 5 72" code is the date code May 1972? Also, any particular grease you use ? Thanks again.
