Hey everyone! Been awhile AGAIN but I've got this thing much closer to putting power down. There is a thread started 4 years ago I can't add to apparently that has some info on it.
" Toro Suzuki 2 stroke mini bike / pit bike"
I got a Bridgeport mill and a big lathe so I've been practicing my setup and stuff on some less critical parts. I'm just building this really to get around the pits at drift events so I'm going as light as possible to haul it on my dolly tongue. I used some 9" wheels off a x1 50cc pocket bike , the rear actually is exactly the right width with it's spacers and disc brake, total luck. The front just fits, I may need to machine a touch off to run the front brake but I kinda doubt it's necessary. Maybe fun for burnouts but .... I machined a baseplate from half inch aluminum to fit inside the frame rails perfectly. The I drew up the plate that stands up to mount the motor to in 2 d cad just to get some numbers to plot on the mill and a paper mock up. I'm using 6 rib serpentine belt pulleys and a jack shaft with a Chevy truck tensioner for a clutch. Not sure how that going to perform yet but worse case I can put a centrifugal on the jack shaft. It all looks feasible and the minibike brake cable is setup just right to hook to the tensioner with a couple holes drilled. This is the mock up motor, the better one I have has a different output and the pulley will sit way closer to the engine. As of now it's geared to do 44 at 6000 rpm. I'm not really sure what it's going to turn but I know it's got potential to make a lot of power with some port work and a pipe along with a real carb. I have a 24mm(I think off the top of my head) tillotson pumper carb for a big 2 stroke saw I bought years ago and a fakuni I can run if that's a dud. It's so small it's comical but I fit on it just barely. I'm thinking it might get sort of a cafe like straight back seat for a bit more room but I kinda like the look with the fake tank. I may have to whip up a real tank that resembles it from aluminum. I have a Vulcan 205 pro Tig I've done some projects, my bash bars on my drift car was the biggest, but I really haven't sat down and just gone to town laying beads all day to get consistent, and I have done ZERO aluminum. I'd like to weld up some sheelmetal in shape at some point and hydroform a proper expansion chamber but I think that's probably un necessary too. I have to chuckle seeing it come together finally.
