countstevula's 2014 Open Class Build - Powerdyne Chopper

[countstevula]

Got some goodies:

My motor, identified here: http://www.oldminibikes.com/forum/engines-modifications/88485-id-tecumseh.html

Mock up pictures

 

[countstevula]

Anyone have a carb/air cleaner assembly for this 3.5 tecumseh?

 

[countstevula]

I also noticed that the fork tube is mangled at the top. Thus the play in the forks when I got it. Don't have a picture right now, but it's cracked around the tube, near the top, and part of the outer top surface is gone. Uneven at the top of the tube, it slowly rounded out some. What a shame, and what to do?

 

[MB165]

thats a good lookin engine, I Pmd ya regarding the air cleaner assy

 

[countstevula]

Haven't done much, been pissed off by this FUBAR fork tube/head tube/whatever you want to call it :censure:

However, frankster has been shedding some light on my wierd bearins, so thanks frank!

 

[incogrhino]

If ya wanna replace the tube let me know the size. Id od and length and I'll get ya. Should have it laying around my work.:wink:

 

[Ratbike]

Cut and shim it??:shrug:

 

[incogrhino]

I can do that to. Make a shim/ spacer. Let me know.

Hell... thinking bout it.... I got a frame and a complete one of these. Hack yours off.... give me your #'s.... and I'll measure my frame and make a spacer to make up lost....

 

[Turbo59]

Yep, agree with Ratbike.

 

[gumpit]

Yeah, cant you just grind it even and put in a new bushing? Then add a washer for a spacer?

 

[countstevula]

[countstevula]
