Another rat....

[mckutzy]

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 new beast. Actually its a bit lighter little shorter in height, lower ground clearance, longer rake.
More of a chopper than my previous, drag/pro street style.

The new brothers together.....

The bike has the same but a little older Champion 6.5hp 196cc engine, missing the exhaust(the header is there, no muffler so to speak). It does turn over, have spark and compression. The carb had the air box unit off, when I got it. An amazingly clean, empty and rust free gas tank.

I reckon it'll need a good carb clean, the previous gas in the line and bowl was pretty murky and had a bunch of crap in the bottom.

I did pour some clean gas in and checked the spark plug, but I couldnt get the thing to start.
I didnt have much time to fiddle, but I think this week end Ill giver a try again, maybe with the camp stove and some lemon juice.

The PO, did however weld a few things that typically shouldn't be welded, like the brake disc and hub, and were also welded to the axle. I couldnt really tell if the tire hub and sprocket were also the same. But it seamed to move well enough by pushing about. Later when I get some more time, ill start breaking into her.

It was made by a defiantly taller guy, sitting right back, my feet are about 6-8" away from the pegs.
