Little stuff like that rarely exists for anything post 1950s or so, its expected that if the boot has deteriorated, the part is loose by now and the whole assembly needs to be replaced.

$4600 is steep, this is a specialist dealership you know. I think $3000 would be pretty fair. It looks like its been sitting for a while, apparently nobody completely insane with enough money has spotted it yet. It almost appears as if somebody got this thing together enough to go around the...

That does not reflect the American way of life. I want to mow half an acre with a rider that has pistons the size of coffee cans!

You will have plenty of fun on a blaster, the great thing about smaller engined bikes/quads is they change hands often and don't really depreciate after the first couple times it changes hands. So if ever get good enough to ride the little 200 to its limits you can sell it for what you paid and...

Model number of engine? If its a briggs 3.5 make sure the PCV system is all OK and the vacuum operated choke is working.

I don't like people like you. Watch this, bear with him through the Jesus bit if you aren't into that sort of thing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxlupdInTXY

Yes, $4600.

Reminds me of an old drag car! Whats it got for a power plant? Keep in mind toe out tends to cause darty behavior at high speed. What kind of surface are you on when it does this? Try lowering tire pressures to get some "suspension", a car with blown shocks behaves somewhat like you describe on...

You could do a sled engine/trans, but you would need to run a cent clutch between the driven pulley and back tire, otherwise if you remove all throttle going in a corner and throttle it coming out the power will come on too hard and kill you.

Its just dirty with some surface rust on the custom frame, no rot that I could see, the pan appeared to be new. All in all it looks like you could have a bad *** car if you added -race seats w/6 pts -full roll cage -controls need hooked up -minor paintwork -engine needs enclosing -mufflers?

I was looking around at a place in Jackson called Marshall Motors, they specialize in classics and project cars. I saw this bug, didn't read the window and looked inside, then I went :eek: . 375-400hp, ~500ft lbs in a beetle, a 455 tornado powertrain in the back. TH425 where there should be a...

You dont know how the crank in a dirt bike is made do you? Its not meant to take torque that way. Its actually 3 pieces pressed together, you will twist it and eat the crank bearings(not to mention lack of balance). The ONLY way to make such a thing work is to turn a custom crankshaft and make a...

The only way to use that would be a custom turned crank driven from the flywheel side or straight down with a chain. There is no easy way, the real easy way is to rebuild the engine.

Might make the stretch, might not. If there is one nearby, try tractor supply, they have around 8 feet of shelving dedicated to tubes, all the way up to car and tractor tires.

I wish I could build things in the kitchen!

IIRC blasters are oil injected stock, many people convert them to premix as they have a bad tendency to eat the injector pump gears and oil starve the engine. Its not hard to mix gas, fill a gas can, add a measured amount of oil(bottle has marks), and shake it a few times just to be sure its...

The raptor 3 was basically a briggs 5 hp flathed with a better connecting rod and exhaust springs on both vales(lets it rev to 6000rpm). I'm pretty sure they had some other goodies, but that's the big stuff.

Mig, tig, fluxcore and stick run at similar voltages, I forget the exact number but its below what it takes to break dry skin, soaked in sweat however, skin resistance drops enough to get a good poke. The only time you can get really shocked(like grabbing a spark plug wire) welding is from a HF...

That would be ridiculously unsafe without some sort of eye protection.

My old man used to have vent windows in his 86 c15, the only downside was they leaked and rattled without a penny stuck in the latch.
