Hey everyone,
Today I picked up a Broncco TX7 that was for sale about an hour from my house. The seller was a good guy and I think I got a pretty good deal on it ($180.) He told me what he knew about it and it wasn't much... He liked the thing but had just lost interest. After a bit of research, I'm finding these are sort of unusual. He said he bought it off ebay a few years ago and never got around to doing anything with it.
The bike is Italian made. It has a little metal tag on the frame with a serial number and date of manufacture as 11/ 1970. The tag also states it meets regulations for being street legal! It's got the original 50cc V1 Minarelli engine that was also used on various mopeds from the 70's (I think.) The cool thing is that it is basically complete only missing the front sprocket that attaches to PTO, air filter, rear fender, parcel tray cover, front bulb/lense. Also the seat is not original (I think?)
I'm trying to find out more about this model mini.
To start, what size front sprocket did it come with originally?
How many RMP's does the engine do?
On the gas tank it says "50cc Minarelli ---- Automatic" does that mean it has an automatic transmission or what?\
...Still gotta get the thing running.
