new rupp

[sayre315]

i just baught a rupp mini bike for $35 with whats looks to be a techenseh, prolly 2-3 horse
the engine has good compression, spark and ummm no fuel line hahe
but im pretty sure its gonna run
maybe need to clean the carb but other than that all it need is more head bolts and fuel line

Nice! You might want to do some mods to the engine or get a new one, since 2 or 3 HP probably won't take you up any hills. That's cool, though. Good find!

 

[sayre315]

got some head bolts and fuel line, also i sprayed the carb down with carb cleaner and now it runs great!
tamarrow im gonna go get a belt then throw it on there, clean the brake drum and brake and hoook up the linkage
but its in great condish! very little scratches and a great paint job

really
it might be worth money in a collectors eye? Does it still have the tag from the factory on the seat pan?

 

[sayre315]

when you say seat pan do you mean i have to take off the seat under there?

 

[2or3wheels]

thats where mine is. Im planning on selling it if anyones intrested?

 

[sayre315]

yep its there
i dont think i'll well it unless i can get $300-$400 for it
you see i'v always wanted a dirt bike but i never realy wanted to spend $400 for one so if i keep this i wont want to buy one

i hooked up the brake linkeges and greased it up some

 

[sayre315]

does anybody know where i can get a tc belt for it?

 

[Kenny_McCormic]

Knowing the TC helps.

 

[sayre315]

well i orderd a belt, it should be here by next week
umm in the serial # on the tag under the seat
is there a way to read it like the briggs code
does it tell you what kind of bike it is and what year it is?
