    I'm stumped: 3hp no start

    This is the engine for my build-off bike. The engine will not fire. I got one backfire with starting fluid and another one ignited fuel vapors coming from the tank cap (never had that happen before:doah:). Here's what I checked: 1. Spark--hurt when my hand got too close to the spark tester, so...

    Stumped with new project.

    Been able to identify every mini I've had till this one, any guesses. I'm thinking at least one wheel and the seat may not be original and can't see any remaining original colors under the thick red paint.

    Briggs 6.5 vertical shaft

    Okay, I'm stumped. It's not for a mini, but I know you guys can help. I've got spark. It will run when I prime it (or on starting fluid), but it dies shortly after. I have cleaned the carb vigorously two times. There is no leak between the carb and block, and I know the main jet is clean because...

    This one has me stumped

    Hi all, This little machine has no markings on it. It has front and rear drum brakes and all appears correct and original. The 3.5 Briggs dates to 1964. Any input would be helpful. Thanks:shrug:

    Stumped Again....What is it?

    Looks a bit like Arco, but only a single downtube up front. I don't know. A friend told me $20, I told him I'd think about it.

    My Newest, but Im stumped as to what one?

    I picked up this Rupp tonight. The guy I got it from said his dad worked at Rupp back in the day and he had a couple laying around from when he was a kid. He was not sure what model this was, but it did come with the 12" rims. To the best of my knowledge only the Black Widows came with those...
