WELL, nobody knows what these Mac weed whacker motors are worth.. We are going to find out. I picked up this little beauty today at the scrap yard for deal at $4 I thought. Already bought the John Deere for the Trike gears and tecumseh parts. ALSO FOUND A NICE!! HS 50 on a snowblower also pretty decent. Ended up 74 bucks in the hole today but have the blower, tractor to part out, 2 more adjustable tec carbs, a 60's Kawasaki air cleaner and my last minute winter project... The Hercules..
unk: Here we have a home made scooter unit that looks awful BUT appears to be very well built. Good welds and heavy duty for total junk bike frame. It appears to be 1/2 little kids 10 inch bike.. with front forks from the same for a rear forks, a bicycle neck bearings jack shaft, 41 chain to what I'm pretty sure is OLD Lil Indian wheel, 1/2 of some sort of motorcycle fender. It has folding pegs,foot actuated scrub brake that works awesome, a full length bicycle kickstand that swings out and works killer, All the mechanical stuff seams to be working pretty good. The front forks are home made from 1/4 inch plate steel and there is a bump stop and the itsy bitsy tire is even a pneumatic. :thumbsup: I do not see hot a motor would have been on here and I think it has NEVER BEEN RAN!!! It's a BRAND NEW MACHINE here Boys. :deal: I promised myself I wasn't building any bikes this winter but this thing would have been shredded for sure and I want to see what a weed whacker motor will do. What better way to find out than the birth of the Hercules Travel Bike? What do ya think? What colors? I have some ape hangers and a folding goose neck. I'm going for a folding bike I think. POCKET bike. Soooooo what do ya think? Nice one, or no count? Did I get screwed out of 4 bucks?

I decided if I was ever gonna use the BIGGER RACER Tillotson over the Walbro stocker it should be now whilst it's going together and I can fix any problems now. I ALSO noticed the walbro would go almost all the way around and the Tillotson goes to wide open and STOPS itself so it quickly turned into a Tilly racer project. I found a temporary gas tank and got the engine fired. Was a simple adjustment on all three screws and she starts idles and SCREAMS great.. I am thinking of using a thumb shifter from a bicycle as a ATV style throttle. I can keep the Schwinn grips and I don't plan any loooong trips on the thing so thumb cramps shouldn't be a problem. That is all easy to change.. I guess we are to throttle, maybe punch out the muffler.. Rear wheel spacers.. THEN WE ARE GOING TO NEEEEEEEEEED GEARS!!! Looking to buy 25 rear sprocket. :deal: More pics to come soon probably..
