whirlwind

Hello folks, We are looking to re-power our Whirlwind. In place of the H40 Tecumseh, we are looking at Honda GX160 or Gx200 power plants. The 4 hp Tecumseh would easily pull the front off the ground. We would like to supply the same amount of low end torque to this machine as the old power...

Before: After:

Not sure if a Whirlwind is considered US Vintage, so I hope this is in the right section of the forum... Got ahold of a Whirlwind with the Tecumseh H40. Oxidized red paint with faded decals but most of the parts seem to be there. Got it running over the weekend and took a quick ride, but...

Just wanted to introduce myself. Got ahold of a Whirlwind with the Tecumseh H40. Oxidized red paint with faded decals but most of the parts seem to be there. Got it running over the weekend and took a quick ride, but it'll be a project to get everything right. A couple questions: 1...

Hi, I'm new to the forum here. I just bought a Ken-bar MB-4 "Whirlwind" minibike about 2 hours ago and I wanted to thank this forum for helping me find some info on the bike before I bought it. I'll take some pictures and upload them when it's daylight out. I would use the pictures from the...

Just picked this up at a garage sale. Wrong motor, no torque converter and the fuel tank and apehangers are not original. I added the leather bag to the forks. I call it the Janky Mofo cuz it's a little sketchy to ride. But it's fun !

Picked up a ken bar whirlwind last weekend and looks to be in nice shape but don't know alot about what i got my hands on. Anybody got any info on those mini bikes , years, parts , pixs, engines , etc . Guy told me it had a 4hp Tecumseh on it with a TAV . It runs good and needs very little...

I picked up a Whirlwind roller some time ago. Oddly enough I picked up a 14HP V-Twin Vanguard too. I think they might complement each other nicely. The engine is currently totally disassembled. It has been thoroughly cleaned and will be rebuilt over the winter months. If I do go through...

I got a great deal on Whirlwind roller but it didn't come with a seat. The seats aren't that common. If you've got one you'd like to sell, please let me know. Thanks! The picture below is of MikeBear's bike. I wanted to show what the seat looks like but since mine doesn't have one there's no...

Does anybody have a copy of the Ken-Bar Whirlwind owners manual, and if so, would they be willing to scan it, and send me a copy? I actually have the larger MB-6 model, but I'm not sure that came with a manual, and I know the Whirlwind's are more common. Let me know, and I'll send you my...

Dad and I went and where able to make a deal on the Whirlwind he was asking questions about. At first I sorta brushed it off as a junk China bike but boy was I wrong. A few of you directed wayne to google ken-bar and when I looked at their stuff and the components on this bike it pushed me to...
