issues

Hi all. I have a minibike that is a load of fun to ride. I got it running great and the clutch was not in good shape (the bushing was worn out). I got that clutch off and put a new clutch on (this one : Masters of Motion Centrifugal Clutch, 10T 41P - Tractor Supply Co.). After just a weekend of...

I picked up a used Mini Baja (Warrior) 196cc last week from a guy who's son had ridden it. Apparently it had been sitting for the past year because the gas had really gone bad and it would not start. Got the bike home and cleaned out the tank with carb cleaner and instead of cleaning the...

I am tearing down my 69 Sensations Mike Bike and hit some snags. The bearings in the rear wheel practically fell out. I can not get the front wheel ones out. It is at the point I am afraid I will break the wheel pounding on it. What works? Heat? Also, the bolt that attaches the Fork to...

Had scooped up a 3 horse Briggs but it doesn't wanna seem to idle with out me holding the throttle...it stays idling by itself if I have the idle adjustment screw all the way in and if I screw it out at all it wants to die I'm clueless

If you are Canadian before you buy on ebay you may want to read about this duty they are charging. It could add a lot of extra costs to shopping in the USA. Best to avoid ebay and try and find the seller's email if this is someone you trust. Import fees? - The eBay Canada Community

I'm a newbie so bear with me. Several of us "Old Farts" have decided to build and run our own karts. We run for fun, bragging rights and just to celebrate our 2nd childhood I guess. Not all of us but a few have had repeated clutch issues. Now he is a "substantial" fella and like most homemade...

Hey guys, Having issues with my minibike. Bought it, a Murray Track2, with an already installed 6.5hp Tecumseh engine. I was adjusting the carburetor on it one day and ended up breaking the float bowl. I then replaced the carburetor with a 6.5hp lawnmower carb, replaced the air filter, and...

Can someone please help me with pictures or diagrams of exactly how to hook throttle cable up to this motor to make my mini go?

Hey all, I have a Tecumseh HS40 that I am having trouble with starting. I have clean spark plug, new fuel line, new carb bowl, new main jet, and have been using staring fluid. I have also been trying different mixture settings on the carb to try and get results. Any ideas as to why this engine...

I've bought three of these 212cc HF Predator engines. Repowered an old Troy Bilt Horse I tiller, a Front tine Tiller, and now an old Sears Suburban. Had nothing but good luck, but I'm having an issue... When you are wheeling around the front tine tiller the engine is tilted, this will cause...

Trying to troubleshoot my issue of no spark in my 1974 MT1/KV75. Originally thought it was a bad ignition coil and I have a replacement on order but now I am thinking it has to do with my contact point system. I haven't yet pulled off the fly wheel (because I don't have the right tool todo so)...

I swapped my modded Baja to a guy today and he seems to be having issues with it. When he drives it, the pin is coming out the back of the driven pulley. He said its sliding out. Is there a fix to this or something he needs to do to secure it? I appreciate the help. Would really like to see him...

I just tried my mini bike with a comet tav2 and it feels like I lost alot of top end and the motor does not rev up as high anymore. It picks up the front end a little on flat ground, and when going up hill on dirt it easily wheelies. Is there any way to increase my top end to make it rev up to...

ill start with the specs first: 5hp flathead, shaved eyebrows, billet rod, stronger valve springs, and strait pipe. engine ran fine, then i took it off the bike (doodlebug) and changed the oil, i noticed that i was missing a head bolt (the one inbetween the intake and exhaust ports) so i put...

Someone sent me money earlier today. For some reason, I can't login to my PayPal account. Anyone else? Scott

Purchased a used hl342a for my briggs with stock stroke and valve size, .380 cam, ported, billet parts, etc. put in fresh gasket kit and I got it running ok at 2 turns out low, 1/2-3/4 turns out high. Problem is, once engine is warmed up there's noticeably less torque and will hit a flat spot or...

Just fired up my baja for the first time. Making some strange spring and chain noises. Also, i'm not really sure how to work the choke/where it should be when starting and then riding. When starting it i had the choke all the way to the left, i let it sit for a few minutes 2-3 to let the...

I new at the stuff so please forgive me if i ask a stupid question. My son has a mb200 with the stock motor and I bought an air filter adapter kit. What I didn't notice until I started working on it is the vent tube. I didn't order the filter with the vent tube built into the filter. So how can...

Background: I got the motor running, but cycled the kill switch a bunch of times to keep it from overspeeding while attempting to adjust idle down. Engine died, wouldn't restart, no spark. I assumed I'd fried the coil by cycling kill switch. (No points/condensor) Ordered replacement coil...

In the last few months (since May) I've had my 2010 Dodge Charger SXT on an oil consumption watch. I noticed one day that it was 3/4qt low on oil and there were no leaks anywhere. When I took it into the dealership to talk to them about it they put it on the oil consumption watch where I need to...
