I need to richen the idle a little. There's a limiter on this screw, now is this just a cap that can be removed or will I have to do a little grinding with my dremel?

I just picked one of these up. Does anyone know where to get parts for these? Also what is the power band on the little motor?

Got it running, still have to work on the idle problem. It pulls my 220lbs around pretty good. Here's a few videos. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwrZ-_nC6dU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yPqg4ZW5aE

We got it started today and wanted to share- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1h42GTHVTY

I am wondering what the max safe RPMs are for my Tecumseh snowblower engine? I also need to know how to limit the throttle opening to make it live for awhile? I'm not sure if the governor will still adjust with the way I've hooked up the throttle. Suggestions please!

I'm getting ready to install my jackshaft and was wondering how the rear chain gets adjusted? Should the jackshaft be made so it slides, that way the chain can be tightened? There's no easy way to install an adjuster to the rear wheel with my type of frame. I've noticed on some mini bikes there...

Saw this on youtube and wanted to share. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eA0_Zsd0G0 This is similar to what I want with my 98cc chain saw motor.

We did a video today and wanted to share with you folks. The engine will run alot better when we get the adjustable carb installed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLlAEtkmmtA

Well, I got the little engine started today and it runs pretty good. The only problem is the carb is without an idlle circuit and it has no mixture screws. Can someone recommend a good replacement that is adjustable, I can bolt on without too much trouble?

Brainstorming right now! This is another engine I have on hand that I could use on the mini bike project. This was actually a belt driven concrete saw. I'm having concerns about the clutch being strong enough and was wondering you folks thought? The bottom pic is what I have in mind for the...

I'm looking at one for my daughters Taco mini bike project. Would this be a good choice or should I be looking at somthing else? I've always liked the 2 strokes for their excellent power to weight ratio. Nothing like hitting that power band and feeling the pull!

Here's a video of my son's completed scooter with a 43 cc leaf blower motor. Does around 25 mph which is fast enough! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-BmH_Yuw-M

Just got the engine for the scooter project completed. It runs great after rebuilding the carb, but it's way too loud and I need to find some type of silencer for the pipe. Maybe a large muffler from a mower will do the trick? Suggestions please?

How is the quality of these wheels? I see they're only rated at 20 mph which is kinda scary. http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_200331215_200331215 I was also looking at these wheels at Harbor Freight tool, for the front. The price is right but I'm afraid the...

How much power will #35 chain stand up to? The chain saw engine I'm planning to use is 98cc and puts out around 8 hp @ 10,500. Not much torque though. Will I be OK?

Here's a few pics of the scooter my son Andy and I are building. Engine is a 43cc Shindaiwa blower motor with a modified pocket bike expansion chamber. Hoping to get 30 mph, once we get the gearing correct. I usually work on my restored '70 Nova, but I'm having more fun messing around with this...

Great site here! My name is John and my son and I are just finishing up a scooter project. It's a kids stand up type with 16" bicycle wheels and is powered by a 43cc 2 stroke Shindaiwa blower motor. We just got done doing our first test run and it did pretty good. We need to go a little deeper...
