I decided not to use cables because of the force my gearbox needed to shift. So let us know how you get along

Hi Guys. Been a long time since I posted here. But found this thread interesting. I have the exact same motor sitting in the shed at home. To get mine started when I bought it, I had to get the carbs synced and soak the jets in carb cleaner for a few days. Also have you worked out the gear...

My 2 cents on this would be you still want to mount the engine forwards and use one jackshaft instead of multiple, but not as experienced as the others on here. Love the way your front steering is going to turn out, one mistake I made with mine was having the front too narrow and having poor...

you say trademe? where abouts in nz are you from and progress looks good so far keep it up

yes definitely going to grab this if i can talk it down to nice price will add some scoops and probably a fan to give engine plenty of air also do you think the forward reverse gearbox it has if fixed could handle the power from the 750? would be niec to have reverse aswell

haha the track car would be awesome except for the fact i dont really have anywhere to use it thats close

Have found another frame has disk brakes all round independent front and rear suspension only thing wrong with it is forward reverse gearbox doesnt work but motor works fine (will pull out and sell) So might look into this one as need to get this project started heres some pics of it...

Have finally finished painting the frame today heres some pics of how it looks im pretty happy with it so far now onto the swingarm and other bits

thanks for the good replies i do have a bottle of very old oil that ive forgotten to throw out yet so might try toystory's "redneck" method but still waiting on sprockets to arrive

Hi I've ordered some machinable sprockets from McMasterCarr for my jackshaft and have been told by someone that they need to be hardened once machined. is this correct? and how would i go about doing it? can i do it myself in workshop? Im asking this because i have no clue so please no stupid...

What are plans for your 250 toystory? do you have a build thread?

my radiator is in a similar position behind the seat but high enough to get air. and the pump seems to be handling fine and engine remains at a very steady temperature around 90 celcius

Since this is a water cooled engine, where are you planning on mounting the radiator?

very cool drawings in sketchup design looks good and sure youll have alot of fun building it look forward to following build

brakes been mostly finished. currently in bits waiting to be sanded and painted :D might get photos up later of current progress
