I wanna know what happened to your face,,,are you getting enough sun?

Looks like a "Dominator" since you have the tank. Nice find and keep it stock! :thumbsup:

 

[mrairportjunke]

thanks guys for the info. thats my bike. now for the parts im gonna need. lol. I need an engine, new brake and throttle. So how do i go about getting and finding what i need? Oh and tires. but i know the big problem is gonna be what is the shaft length or whatever for the engine to line up with the rear sprocket???

Haha!! Why people bring back posts over a year old.:question4: Why do people bring back and restore mini bikes over 40 years old:huh:

 

[mrairportjunke]

well to give an update. the bike been sitting in my garage still not going. i havent been able to figure out what motor will go on that baby. i tried a 3.5 briggs and straton but the shaft was wasnt in line with the rear sprocket. so that wouldnt work unless i did some welding and cutting modifications on the frame. idont want that. i neeed to know what engine will go on there or how i figure that out. im not that mechanically inclined. anyone have ideas?

 

[minibikin']

The bike looks fairly original. My opinion would be to put an ad in the WTB section for the correct motor. They are out there. Check Ebay and craigslist too. Tecumseh HS40 I believe? Good luck!

 

[mrairportjunke]

do you or anyone else know what other motor would be the same as that particular motor. ? i cant really keep it all orginal anyways because the seat padding and cover is messed up. the sticker in the front isnt really salvagable so im probably gonna sand it down repaint and just make it fun. you know.

another question is where can i order parts for it the cheapest or most trust worth place??

 

[jeep2003]

did you put the clutch on inside out? It needs to go on sprocket first

Parts?No problem.

A Briggs should fit and line up okay. As said, did you try flipping the clutch? Post some pics.

 

[mrairportjunke]

i took it straight off a go cart and put it on the bike but from bolting the frame bolts on and all the sproket was way off. either way the clutch went wouldnt have mattered

 

[mrairportjunke]

I have a question for yall. I weight about 260 pounds. what size engine and clutch should i get for my weight? ultimately itll be for my kid but daddys gotta ride too..

 

[supernova]

I'm wodering why a briggs wont fit and have the clutch line up, what length is the shaft? The reason I ask is there are short shaft briggs. A briggs and tecumseh should swap out so I'm stumped on the fitment issue.:shrug:

 

[mrairportjunke]

maybe it wasnt a short shaft. i dont know it was a few years ago and i dont have the engine anymore. what shaft length am I looking for? thats what i need to know. would this engine work? Powerhorse 208cc OHV Horizontal Engine | Powerhorse Engines | Northern Tool + Equipment
