So I just picked up this 1972 Fox Tracker minibike:




Its got a factory installed 2-cyle Tecumseh engine, I'd never even seen of these until now:




The sticker reads Tecumseh AH817MB. I haven't researched it much but apparently this is a 5-hp engine. Its the big-un ;)






Its got a factory installed torque converter system. The jackshaft is also the swing-arm pivot pin...



It wheelies off the line and feels like it tops out at like 50. This little sucker scoots!



This thing positively reeks of the 1970's. (oh wow man, I just had a flashback ;)









Evidently this model was only made in 1972. It runs/rides great but I'm kinda afraid of breaking something I cant replace... I think I should prolly try to sell it for lots!
