    Spare governor rod and throttle return spring for Greyhound 2.5?

    Hi Folks, First post here, but I've been reading a lot. I had a little 3hp mini bike as a kid and had an absolute ball with it. Recently I started looking for one for my boys...well the older one at least. Well, this past weekend I saw a no-name for sale ("vintage" look -- sort of like...

    6.5 HP Greyhound motor

    I know I am going to regret selling this motor but I could use the money for something else. I have a Greyhound (Honda clone) motor for sale. It is a horizonal shaft which is 3/4". It is literally about 1 month old. It has not been used on anything yet. It was mounted on a mini bike frame...

    motor dying when hot, greyhound clone

    I am thinking I may need a rejet of some sort, but what do you think? Motor is completely stock, with a helper spring on the governor spring, stock air filter and airbox, stock exhaust pipe but muffler box is broken off. Essentially just a closed end pipe with 3 holes drilled in the side of...

    Will our engine EXPLODE?

    We got the harbor freight 6.5 greyhound and want to make it rev a little higher. What RPM would be the safest RPM to go to if we just added 18lb valve springs. Were trying to avoid spending money on a flywheel and a rod. Pics of bike below :scooter:

    Adjusting idle DOWN on greyhound 6.5 clone

    Hi guys. I've tried to find an answer to this but it isn't happening. HF 6.5 clone. Turning idle screw doesn't do anything. The black lever on the carb that presses against the idle screw doesn't contact the screw at idle. Or if you like, the governor rod is holding the carb open at idle...
