Ok so I sort of created a monster. I have been lurking around reading stuff from this forum for quite sometime it’s been a huge help in the last year or so. I helped a friend with a lil Indian mini bike and now decided to build my own. I found this old ARCO for sale pretty cheap thought I would go check it out. I ended up taking it home cause he gave no warning about the governor being bypassed and the lack of brakes that were actually useable.
This is it when I brought it home after looping it in the middle of street. It had a HH60 on it first pic. Then I tore it completely down and redid everything installing the correct HS40 which had a very short life. Now I got the dumb idea to pull that engine and install a predator on it. A 212! Obviously even though the engine is all stock it’s more than a handful to manage.
So my query is what would it be like with a stock predator 79cc? I have a feeling that would be too small. Could I do anything to make it more rider friendly with the 212? Not really looking to keep it stock at this point even though that would be cool. I just started out wanting a good rider that had that vintage look.
