tight

As the title suggests I have purchased a Chinese torque converter and the belt seems fairly tight. It's hard to push the kart around with the belt attached. As you can see it is giving the Bush a hiding and that's only after about 15 minutes of riding.

Hey folks, so I'm building my first bike. I really want a front brake. My issue is that there isn't enough room for a disc or drum set up. Has anybody ever done a front scrub brake? If so how well did it work? Any pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I recently bought a blank sprocket from OldMiniBikes. Had it drilled, but the chain ran from too loose to too tight. I figured the holes were off. I enlarged the holes & made a bit oblong so I could adjust the fit. No matter what I did, the chain stayed too loose or too tight. I finally took the...

Engine started to miss a lot, then i just ran it for like 30 seconds and it shut off, fuel and spark were good so i took the valve cover off and the rockers seemed loose, are they suppose to be loose or tight? Thanks

I have a doodlebug with the 6.5 honda clone engine. Is the tensioner needed to keep the chain from popping off as well as keeping it tight?

I need an exhaust pipe that may not be doable. I need a 6.5 HP Predator pipe to bend 160-180 degrees. The pipe needs to bend as soon as it leaves the engine and not go out more than 1.5 inches. I would need the flange and at least 6 " of pipe to mount the muffler. Is this even possible? Who can...

I had to get a longer belt to accomidate the new engine on my tote gote. I have no idea how tight the belt should be to start with. It is the Deepco Maximatic clutch. This is the first time I have ever dealt with this, any suggestions would be great thanks Rob

So I bought a 168f 196cc honda clone motor from a Canadian store,Princess Auto, I just ordered the pmr stage 1 kit from hot rod mini bikes, as I'm impatient I pulled the motor out to look, and the throttle lever is super tight, I have to assume, that it is set up this way depending on the...

This works.... After much tinkering to get the moving sheave and the bushing right this latest tinker based on stuff from the mixed springs thread works. Now its not much help mind you if you turn the belt to smoke. There's a limit to what the belts can take. Happy mothers day. Give mum a...

Since in stalling my TAV on the warrior I notice it is hard to roll the bike when it isn't running. Thought it was the brake dragging but finally had a chance to look at it today and the brake is fine. Seems like the TAV is what is causing the problem. The TAV was bought new and complete...

I've just bought a Comet band brake for my minibike build. The bike has a 1" live axle and the bore of the brake drum is allegedly 1" also, but it doesn't fit. I have tried rubbing some emery cloth in the bore and on the axle, but it isn't really helping. I have no lathe (although a friend has...

Just installed a new Max Torque 5/8" 11 sprocket and chain. As I roll the rear tire with motor not running, the chain would get loose and then tighten up. I tried moving the motor around but still having the same problem. Is my clutch defective?:confused:

So I have recently purchased a mini bike frame with a 5.5hp Tecumseh engine. I have been getting parts from eBay, and I have discovered that I had an issue with the clutch fitting the main drive shaft. I measured twice (with a tape measure) and found the drive shaft to be 3/4". However, when...
