    I picked up another DB-30 Doodlebug today. The bike has a bone stock 6.5HP clone installed in it. Unfortunately, it has been sitting some time. At least since last September.

    Tecumseh quits on rough road / bumpy terrain

    Hey all, I've got a small issue with the enjoyment of my mini. Running my engine on the stand or on asphalt roads or driveway, my mini runs just fine and will run forever at full throttle etc. But when you ride it on gravel roads, in the yard or anything that induces vibration, the engine will...
