Fixed!

I need a photo of the bracket the holds the rear drum brake cable to the brake. The pencil is pointing to what is broken. Would you please post a clear photo of what the bracket looks like? I will need to make one from scratch. Thank you. Rob

I recently put a new Harbor Freight 6.5 engine on my Baja Doodlebug and it is amazing!! Problem? I live on a dirt road and the rear wheel bogs down into the sand. I was wondering if it would be possible to put new and bigger tires on the bike instead of the regular 145/70-6 tires that are on...

Well, I am fixing up my friend's Honda Trail CT70 for him. When he brought it to me the key was bent flat against the side of the bike, so I had to bend it a bit so I could turn it into the on position. Sure as hell, after moving it there the damn thing broke :censure: :doah: :mad2: I managed...

I'm new to forums in general so if I'm asking stupid questions I could have found answers to in old posts I apologize for annoying everyone. Okay here she goes, I own a 2.5 hp Briggs motor that sounds as if it's pounding a loose connecting rod on the crank which from my understanding is a...

Is there a way for me to prohibit one particular website from having access to my computer. I'm using Norton 360 v6 and I would like to be able to configure my firewall so that it won't let a website like Click be able to communicate with my computer. Any ideas? Ogy

Hi Guys, Took my first ride on my restored Fox mini bike! Great feeling! My first restoration. Predator 212cc engine runs good. I'm surprised at how quiet it is compared to my Murray riding lawn mower. I had the throttle screw in half way, guess I got to about 20 MPH. Can't wait for break in...

So my buddy gave me two of these fairly unused engines, but they have been sitting outside for quite awhile. So I cleaned both of them up nice and un-gummed the carburetors, and realized I couldn't use one of the carburetors, because it was completely rusted through. So I put the best one back...

I was digging through one of the out building on our farm and came across this wheel with a nice old good year tire on it. I thought it would be great for a mini bike, so I deflated the tire and tried to break the bead so I can paint the 2 piece rim, only problem is I can't! :doah: I even tried...

So i bought a mini bike a few days ago. It has a Tecumseh engine on it and for some reason i cannot get it to stay running. It starts on 1 pull but dies out a few seconds later. I tried giving it some gas in that few seconds that it stays running and there was absolutely no responce from it at...

Hey guys, Im new to the forum. Picked up a used Doodlebug in good condition and I recently took a gamble on a Used Predator motor off ebay from a company called Tadd Wholesale. They sell Returns and stuff, so I figured I could get lucky with one that works or any easy fix. Yesterday I started...

Hey guys. I picked up a old Baja Hawg-ty with jackshaft and 5.5hp Jiandong JF168 engine. The thing is on its own it sounds like it wants to start but wont. I put gas in the carb and it roars to about 3000rpm and then dies. I think its a fuel issue. The bike was sitting for months to a year...

I recently had new jackshaft/swingarm plates welded on my Bonanza frame. I used a threaded rod & nuts to keep everything parallel: http://www.oldminibikes.com/forum/project-logs/51639-project-bare-bones-bonanza.html Problem: Unfortunately, Even though the spacing of the plates is parallel...

I'm trying to restore a 5 hp one and need a few pictures of an orginal one to help us out. Need picture showing rear wheel-brake band and cable. As ours is missing and so far all I find are bands with round ends, none that bolt on one end as shown in manual. Also if you can take or have a...
