RCF standard frame and fuel tank. I have 10" dirt bike wheels with drum brakes. It is powered by a mild 5hp with a torque converter. I just put DOT street tires on it and I am in the middle of putting front suspension forks on it. I have a 20v to 12v adaptor for my Dewalt battery, head light...

I am about to start working on my unicorn. I don't know if I want electric start or just the 12v charging. The blower housing is off getting painted. I will post more as I start doing stuff.

I can't believe how bad my shop has got. I have like 17 different flatheads and almost that many clone/predators. I think I am going to tear them all down and put in bins. If you are looking for parts let me know.

Here are 2 examples of how to add a "Mikuni" carb to your flathead. The red one has a PZ26 with EC Carburetors 407int intake. It wouldn't work with my genuine VM22 Mikuni. You could see the O ring on the back of the carb. I had to slightly enlarge the bolt holes in the PZ26 to fit over the...

Anyone know what the CC1 date code is?

Traded an old go kart frame site unseen for this (What I assume is) Sears mini bike. I thought it was a Bird - Duck from the blurry pic he sent. I was told that the Sears had 1" frame and the extra gussets around the neck. The guy I got it from told me that it had no power and he replaced the...

I was gifted a 1000w 48v cruzin cooler. The battery terminals had corroded off and a friend asked me to rebuild it. He ended up running off with his wife's best friend so I don't think he will be returning for it. I have a few mini bike frames and was wondering if that motor would work for a...

Starting to work on the little 79cc. I already removed the governor. It is so much easier to pull the flywheel off and knock out the timing gear from the back. Everything comes out in one piece. With the flywheel off you can change the timing key. If you already know what timing you want then...

I have 2 Baja Dirt Bugs. One has a 212 haphazardly mounted to it and 1 was original. I decided to put my new in box 79cc predator to use so I decided to attack the stock one first. I can only find 1 pic of the bike before I started. the others were lost in the war I guess. it was blue and rusty...

I was driving around and saw some mini bikes in a pile of junk beside someones house. I stopped and asked about them and they gave them to me. There was an all original Baja Dirt Bug. It had all the original parts but didn't run and was in bad shape. I decided to start with that one and will...

I got 3 Briggs engines today. This is the first one. It is a 1988 off a tiller. My friend heard that I was looking for a Briggs to build so he gave me this one. It had been sitting in an old field for years. It would turn over but when I started tearing it down It was bad. Looks like a parts donor.

I have tried to figure out what this kart is. I figure it is a Manco. I have seen those wheels, scrub brakes, pedals, and the seat support on other Mancos. I have never seen one with all of them together or one with that funky bowtie steering wheel. I am planning on lengthening it, move...

Found a leather couch someone was throwing away. The leather on the back looked new. I cut that out and took the foam from the seat backs. I had an old sheet of plywood that I used. We tore the old rotted seats up and made templates. I had to buy 4 t-nuts so it was $1.50.

My kids pulled the top off of the air filter box and the kart sat out in a rain shower. Before I tried to crank it up I pulled the carb and gave it a good cleaning. Went to crank it up yesterday and nothing. I pulled for a good 5 min before I told the kids no riding for the day. Today I pulled...

When I picked up a #420 chain from the little bike shop in the middle of nowhere that has been there forever, the old man running it and I started talking. He said he saw someone make an adaptor for a pod airfilter with pvc. I went to Lowes and saw this 2" threaded cap. I got home and marked out...

Picked this little thing up and after hours of looking online I cant seem to find a match. It has Manco rims. A few of the Mancos I have seen online have the same scrub brakes. The pedals are the same as the ones on my Manco Rattler LXT

I picked up this kart, a tiny 50cc 4wheeler, a bunch of lawnmower tires and a Honda pressure washer for $40 yesterday. Got it home and started on the kart. It has a 6.5 briggs. The gas tank was full of water so it and the carb came off to be cleaned. I tried to fire it up but it had a stuck...

Death Trap 1 was my lifted Suzuki Samurai. Death Trap II was my 77 f150 with a 429 cobra jet and no brakes. I picked this up off of Craigslist with a quarter midget kart, a mini chopper and a bunch of parts for $40 and some fishing reels. I had planned on stripping it down and cutting off the...

I picked up a quarter midget racing kart that was taken apart for $40. It has a honda gx120 with a splined shaft and a 6:1 gearbox. The motor was in excellent shape. It had the governor removed. I took it apart and the inside was clean as a whistle. The reason he sold the kart so cheap was...

I like to think outside the box. It is probably because I am cheap and like to make stuff. I was toying around with the idea of an electric clutch but no slipping was keeping me from trying. Yesterday I went down the YouTube rabbit hole and started watching vids about gardening and ended up...
