I just bought this today for 125$ I was told it ran good but after seeing it run there and then bringing it home found out it was running bad but started good so needs a tune up. I don't have the model on the motor because someone painted over it but it seems like a 5 hp briggs and looks original

Manco?

Yeah I looked that up but the frame is set up slightly different and then I saw one that looked real close but the foot pegs and the rear mount area was set up different. I think the frame paint is original though

That manco looks close besides the foot pegs. But very close. I should also mention it has band brakes. And the frame hasn't been modded all original besides the motor

Manco did use the footpegs like on yours for a awhile, I had a '79 streaker that had them on there factory. they also lied to use a band brake off the rear wheel. are your front fender mounts little tabs above the fender off each fork lower?

 

[minimoto18]

Umm yes I believe they are

Looks like we have the exact same bikes: http://www.oldminibikes.com/forum/what/77223-what-minibike.html

Yours is the only other one I can find exactly the same as mine.
