These last while being a bit bored at work and having more than enough time to space out for a moment... It occurred to me if a mini bike was to have a two speed transmission, what should be ideally geared to. 6:1 is typically used as a rule of thumb, but after that its hasn't really, to my...

Hey guys, I have a clone powerfist 208cc. I can't get it to idle properly. I had backed out the idle screw but to no avail. Looking around, fiddleing with gov lever, pressed it to the front of the motor, it runs fine at the proper rpm. Let go and it takes off. Tried to put the return spring on...

Hey guys, got another bike today. Apparently next week is my birthday, and the fam decided to get another project for me. Its kinda rough but cool, has some potential, and got attacked by a bird sh!ting molten ball bearings(I reckon it was someones home/school project). Just a few, of the...

Hey guys, a few months ago I had my computer (PC) have a crash due to the last update for XP. It might have been that I didnt defrag much or enough, but whatever. The major personal files were saved on my partition, the XP had to be reloaded. I just finally got the wireless drivers...

Hey guys, doing some research on more transmission stuff. We all know what the 700 series are, or more importantly what the difference of these to say a motorcycle transmission or most typical transmission types. (The following is just to represent the applications this type has been used...
