New Skat Kitty Owner

#1
I just bought this one. Missing sprocket cover, original engine, maybe a few other things. I may take some liberty with it since it isn't too original. Maybe metal flake paint with vintage sixties racing stickers, etc...like a pit bike or something.

My main problem is the engine. It came with a Tecumseh. It may be from a pressure washer. The problem is no throttle control. It is either wide open or wide off :biggrin: I'm not even sure this particular engine can be modified for throttle control?

I'm thinking about one of the HF Predators. Is there a list of parts/items I would need to make it work on my Scat Kitty?

Tires. Pretty dry rotted. The parts list shows a 510x350x4. I have found 410x350. Will they work?

Thanks. I'll update as the restoration goes.

If you aren't too far, I am hosting a little get together next weekend in Loxley,Al. Almost to the beach.

Hope you find the cover. :thumbsup:

i dont think youll fit a predator on there. go for an old tecumseh. plenty in the classifieds. 4hp and under are skinnier so youll have some foot room

Was it minibike paul?
Yes. I live in a small town, but there is a sign guy and one that does
vehicle wraps. I also have a laser printer. I may have to resort to those
options.

Nice find. Those are some cool little machines!
Thanks! I've been wanting an old mini bike for a couple of years. This
one just popped up and I didn't hesitate. I still like the looks of the Pinto, Taco,etc...keeping my eye open for more.

Thanks, James. They also make a Predator 3hp. I imagine it is the same footprint though. I know of several local small engine shops near here. I may make a round and see if they have anything. I also spotted some bikes a few wks. ago at an antique store. I need to go back and stop in.

Anyone know the red paint code or name for a SK? Tractor Supply now carries a brand called 'Majic'. It is cheap compared to PPG or other brands. I don't know if it is a top brand with a different name just for TSC. They sell the hardner, etc...to go with it. About $30 gallon for their 'Ford Red' which is really cheap compared to PPG
