well cruising at a consistent speed which is often flooring it... would a new diaphragm help at all? as I still have the original one as far as I know.

removed all the sealant and re-cleaned the carb including all the jet holes. It runs fine except it still cuts out on full throttle sometimes. Anybody else have any ideas what it could be besides dirty carb? The throttle cable is hooked up right to the carb with no governor.

well the gasket sealent I had just put on today to try to seal the paper gasket better because it all seemed wet around that area.. and have now found out that it does dissolve in gas since the engine is no longer running at all. So time to pull it all apart. I dont believe that the carb was...

So I have two questions the second may answer the first. 1) as Im riding with full throttle once in awhile the motor will cut out for a second then continue on... what might be possible causing of this? I've cleaned the carb twice and have resealed all the gasket areas. 2) As I finished a...

yea I think one of those engines might be a bit too much for me right now.

it is spring loaded... but i put a smaller rear gear on and haven't needed it anymore so its off now.

I got the two stoke motor all mounted up and exhaust just need to hook up the throttle and wait for my clutch. I got it started up for a minute and its real loud.. more than the 5hp briggs... I can't wait to see if it moves quicker.

whats the best type if tubing to use for exhaust thats light but will hold up that I could get from lowes or homedepot or someplace like that. I was looking at steel pipes but thought that would be too heavy and sink drain pipes may not have been able to hold up to the temperature.

would one of those clutches work on a 6.5 2-stroke motor? anyone know the cheapest place to buy a new clutch been looking around mfgsupply seems like the cheapest so far.

are the bushings changeable? the bushing is the brass part?

I had received three clutches from someone who didnt want them several months ago, two were 3/4 bore and one was 5/8 bore. One of the 3/4 clutches I am using already the other one has something wrong with it but I don't know much about them so dont know what. Anyway I first had to use a press...

Thanks happened to have the fur fabric laying around in the basement from some costume from years ago when I was in elementary school. Figured it was about time to put it to use. Added some more fur on the handlebars since then as well as made a headliner out of it for my friends truck...

I have started talking with him thank you.

I came across a 6.5 hp lawn boy on craigslist for $30 im gonna try to pick up tomorrow. Does anyone know if they use the normal 3/4"? I think clutches?

I just came across this 6.5hp lawnboy on craigslist right by me. http://longisland.craigslist.org/grd/1828897381.html. How could with this motor be for a minibike? I have seen several on here on carts but haven't seen any on a mini-bike. Is the motor as large as a normal 4 stroke lawnmower...

Is there anything that the larger two strokes come off of besides a pocket bike already? I'm really trying to spend as little money as possible, such as finding one at the curb or cheap off craigslist or something. 47cc is the smallest id want to really try to use for it?

I made a minibike out of a modified bike frame and a 5hp briggs or a power washer. No I have a small girls bike that I want to make to a pocket bike type and put a 2-stroke motor on but don't know much about how much power I can get out of a 2-stroke. Looking at some leaf blowers or edgers...

okay that makes things easier not needing the differential. What size/thickness tubing is usually the best building the frame? Would anyone have an estimate of about how many feet of tubing it would take? I know it all depends on the design and everything just trying to figure a rough cost...

By live axle you mean one with a differential? I don't have one of them and trying not too spend too much money. I know If I used a solid axle I would probable have issues with turns and the wheels wanting to spin different speeds. Would it work alright If I basically just made one drive...

So for school I have a transportation class where I have to rebuild a small engine and a metals class. I would like to use the motor I rebuild to put on a mini Chopper trike that I want to build in my metals class. Though I havent really seen anybody who made a non reverse mini trike, I saw...
