Alexander - Reynolds from yard sale

[Mr Ed]

I recently cleaned and updated this mini. The red and white theme really matches the Honda OHV engine colors well. I have dubbed it 'Powder Puff'. I sold it within hours of completion.

why didn't you use the original Tecumseh engine ? I would think the bike would be worth more with the correct engine

 

[Mr Ed]

The tecumseh was sold with the mini. It needed too much stuff like air box, carb rebuild, and exhaust, while I had this gx140 I found in the trash ready to go. The paint on the frame and the seat cover were not original, I would have had way too much money tied up if I restored it. Gotta make a buck.

 

[Mr Ed]

And the customer wanted it this way. I gave her the tecumseh so she could restore it if she chooses.
