Chris & Tyler's mini bike resto

[Chris T.]

Went to pick up a snowmobile today with Tyler and the owner just gave this to us with the sled... (Pictures are on their way!)

It's in running condition (Fired up no problem with new gas), but we plan on cleaning it up and restoring it, needs some TLC.

I'm sure you've already thought of it, but i'd do something about that exhaust, the underside of that seat must be gettin pretty hot.

[Blazkowiez]

That sucker looks pretty near so far. Good post.

 

[KieranM]

Nice little chopper. Its too bad they hacked it up to fit that briggs. Im not sure what kind it is but im sure its suposed to have a tecumseh

 

[WI_Chopper]

he means it came with a tecumseh, but they cut it and welded in plates to fit a briggs, though i would too as i am a briggs guy any day over tecumseh

No cutting or welding would be needed to fit a tecumseh. The footprint is all the same on these little 2-10 hp or so engines.

there is not hacking involved for a small engine swap... now i can see if they slaped a v-twin vangaurd in there some how

I believe from 2-6 hp they are the same. 7 hp on up is different (from the 2-6, if that is what you mean)

IS that a 4 or 5hp?

i mean its already been hacked to fit the briggs. see on the frame the fat parts are where its been patched in to extend it. Originally it would have had a tec with a small carb maby even a droped intake and the tank would be in front
