No I got it from Russo Power Equipment

They have a store 20 minutes from me and I wanted to get it fast.
I did.

His B-Day is next week, but his Mom is not getting back to me about this.
She said it was a go?

I may end up trying to resell this?
$175 for the bike
$20 for the clutch
$20 for the cable
$25 for gas and mileage on my car
$10 for the three hours it took me to pick it up (I'm cheap labor)

Would need $250 to break even.

I would probably list it for $400 and take $325

The longer I keep it (if that is what happens), the more I'll dump into it and will have to keep it for me.

I should really take it out of my back seat.
The two of us don't fit too well in my car.

OK still going to be a present for my nephew.

I will install the new clutch today and see what else I can do. Maybe some paint.

[bob58o]

[bob58o]

[bob58o]

Needs chain guard.

Here's the Drive train with JS and tensioner.
20:10
Then
50:10

10:1 gear ratio

[bob58o]

19x7-8 13F
Karet Tire
4PR Tubeless
Max load: 143 lbs 14 psi

Brake system that supposedly works just perfect?

[Jrgunn5150]

I'm pretty sure that's the same one my Uncle had before, they used to sell them at Tractor Supply. It moved me and my little cousin along fast enough to make me throttle down lol.

[bob58o]

Back side of JS.

[bob58o]

Something is melting the choke.
The gas shut off is gone??

Hmmm???

[bob58o]

I'm sure this throttle linkage is jacked.

This is unexpected.

I'll take the gas tank off and see.

This air box just will NOT work. Lol

[bob58o]

The guy jiggled wires to kill the engine.

Not good Nuff for my nephew.

I'll redo this.

[bob58o]

Let there be Electricity, he said on some day.
Probably a Tuesday!

[bob58o]

I should look into the linkage before I take the clutch off.

At 3600, this should do 20 mph???

At 5400, this should do 30 mph.

Decisions to be made after I inspect the linkage!

I have an air filter adapter for the 212 carb.

I would say my Uncles easily did 20, it also have the nuts to pull the front tire up, with a three year old sitting on the fake gas tank, surprised me lol.
