Some times I can help buying them to just save them. :doah: And I have a bad habit of wanting to buy any mini with and engine for $50. :doah:

There was no pic but after interigation,, it sounded like it my be a rupp and it was close by so me and the boy did a night run tonight. :wink:

The bike had been carelessly and completely sprayed with a black spray can (I hate when they do that) The bike was orange originally. The good news is it has a HS40 Tecumseh which Is the same engine as one I got at home with a broken exhaust mount hole. :thumbsup: I never tried a Rupp and it will be a good companion to my Bird Nighthawk mini cyle.

The chain is to large (motorcycle)? The brake is sticking, the front fender is hanging by a bolt,,,, and the carb! :doah::doah::confused:





He said it will run but leak fuel,,,, YOU THINK? :scared::scared::scared::scared: Never a boring moment in mini land! :doah:

I'm surprised that it would run. Yeah, I can see a fuel leakage problem. OMG that's the funniest thing I think I've ever seen someone do with a carb, LOL:eek:ut:

I got a Bird that someone had replaced the scrub brake plate with an extra large hinge, like the kind you would use on a wooden gate. It actually worked but it looked a little to redneckish for me.

That carb must be for right hand donuts.:thefinger: That must be a #420 chain. They're a little wider and thicker. A #41 should work shouldn't it?

My 3.5s drop down then out. That must be the wrong intake, or turned end for end. It's in the right place. That might be a vertical engine intake.

Jim, I'm pretty sure someone put the carb and exhuast in the wrong spots. :doah: 3.5's and 5hp's are different and I can't remember how the 4hp's are set up but I'm pretty sure they are backwards! :oops:

No time to investigate tonight but I'll know tomarrow. :thumbsup: BTW, the carb says "craftsman" and has no choke or bulb but I have a new 5 HP carb that will fit.

I looked at the bike this morning and it's NOT A RUPP. :doah: You have to excuse me because I'm not into bike that have shocks.:eek:ut: The gas tank and torque converter threw me off (copy of Rupp) I kept looking at the holes in the frame THEN remembered a guy had posted an orange bike just like it and I believe it was a newer Sear's bike. :doah: I'll have to find a pic.

The Carb and exhaust WHERE put on backwards and as soon as I get gaskets, change the oil, and make linkage for the carb (my Tec carb pull's the other way) I'll try to get it running. ( It has compression )

It was one of the What is it type threads. The guy asked what he had and i think I posted the picture of Alaska Minis. I just checked the first 13 pages of General Mini Bike Talk and didn't see it.

GTO,

The search comment was towards jimh - and not in a bad way. Rather than search manually through the pages, we have search options for that. He knew it was from Alaska Mini - so that's what I searched for :thumbsup:
