Cool find! Never encountered a minibike with dual rear wheels. That beast may require a big block 3.5 hp B&S engine.
The thought has crossed my mind!! I could see having fun doing a swap of some sort. 🍻
Yikes you scared me with the trouble light you are using so close to the leaking gas. I know several people who burned down their shop with that exact scenario. Very cool you got it running. Neat little project. Thank you for sharing.
That's a very good point... it's an LED bulb, so it's cool to the touch, but that doesnt mean it couldn't ignite the fuel in a different manner. Thank you for pointing that out, and for the comment! 🍻👍🏻
Mowerz and Blowerz here. The engine is not the engine that is supposed to be in the bike. Someone threw in that engine to get her running again. Think of it as a trimmer on steroids. None of the electrical components is needed for it to run with the exception of the ignition switch. It doesn’t even have a charging system on that engine I don’t believe. The carb kit for that particular carb will get her performance where it should be. She’s starving for fuel now. Love the vids! ( that was the hubby )….. tell him he can comment and he gets all long winded! First, thank you for listening and playing with the pups! So sorry to hear Titan got skunked! Im sure you and your family give them lots of love, I was just messing around with ya! Second! When this cool bike is done, who do we get the pleasure of seeing, take the first ride? It’s so cute, but so little! I love watching your videos, cause you crack me up. My hubby does small engine repair and i learn and I also get to see the pups and you awesome crocks! who knew they could shoot lighting bolts! Thanks again! Looking forward to the next vid!
Well hello there! Nice to hear from you! I appreciate all the feedback and information you want to throw my way 😁 I have lots to learn. I'm looking forward to getting the little monster running tip-top. I'm sure my big butt will take it for the maiden voyage when it's ready. We will see how much it does or doesn't like hauling me around 😰😆
I know you were teasing about the pups 😉 But he sure did love having a fetch! He thanks you! 🦴
I hope all is well. Thanks again for the info and comments. It puts a big smile on my face! Until next time!! 🍻👍🏻
It is the correct Engine I have the same bike
I use to stare at these in pepboys for hours while my grandparents got these car/truck serviced. Ended up with a four wheeler but never forgot how bad I wanted one of these in gray.
I hear ya. For me it was a go-kart at the local farm supply store 😁
Hy Aron, another perfect rebuilt. Sometimes I think you’re my better double in the garage. Hitting your head on stuff that hangs in the wrong place could be me 😂 I have diverse marks on my forehead of such silly acts of stupidity 😂 thanks for the entertainment and I wish a good night while my day started. Let’s see what happens to me while I work in the garden today, will I survive? Sure I will 👍💪 Greetings from Germany, where I definitely need to learn a lot more 🐝
Greetings Maik! Yes, I have packed so many things in my garage that I've definitely hit my head multiple times on many things 🤪 Thank you for the well wishes. It's always nice to hear from you. Good luck in the garden! With the dropping temperatures, my lawn/garden time is allllll about leaf removal. They're falling like rain! 🍃 🍂 🍁
Take care! 👍🏻🍻
Just got one of these from my neighbor. Put new carb kit on but won't start now. Was bogging down with old carb. Wish me luck!
My sister and I had two of these back in the early 2000's! 😂 it would max out at 20 mph. I liked when it was running out of gas it would lean out and hit 25 mph lmao 😂
Hahah that's a great story! Thanks for sharing! 🍻
I just picked one up yesterday for $20, it's rough also but the guy said that it was running when it was parked
Well, the good news is you can get a super cheap carb for it on Amazon if you need to! Otherwise, good luck to you! I'm hoping to have the second video out soon. Been a lot going on around here 😅
Have fun! 🍻 👍🏻
Read your spark plug, that will tell you how rich or lean it's been running. You really should give yourself more credit, you seem to have a very logical approach to problem solving. That's a neat little scoot.
That's a good suggestion! I haven't pulled it since I checked for spark.
Thank you for the compliment. You always have helpful info. I appreciate it! 🙂👍🏻
The tank alone worth the 14$
Looking forward to your next video I have the same bike but I put bigger and better parts to keep up with the new generation pretty much all original what year was a way I can show you a picture it's bad ass one of a kind
Sounds amazing! I bet it's a blast to ride. I was thinking a repower might be fun. But first I'm just having fun tinkering. Things have been super busy around here and I ran into a few PC issues so hopefully I'll have something sooner than later. Fingers crossed 🤞 See ya then!
@@TractorFella looking forward to it Bud💪💯 mines still look original just super buffed up that's all bigger newer stronger everything with stronger Harley-Davidson signal lights and integrated taillights relays rectifier regulator on a 212 hemi full electric start system this thing is badass and it goes 60 stock it rides like sitting in a chair 💪🛵💨💯
@timalexander89 Holy smokes! That thing sounds like a monster!!
@@TractorFella it really is I'm running a 10t clutch with a 40t sprocket with a 13x6.5x 6 rear tuff tire.. straight power I mean this thing hauls ass im on FB Detroit mini bike 💪💯
Haha that's awesome! 😯 Are you running the stock engine? Or did you throw a different monster in there?
Still cant get mine to stay running you dod amazing on yours tho where did the speedo hook up lol
Haha dang machine!! I'll have a look and get back to ya!
Carb is on upside down, engine is the correct one as I have the same bike but it does all look correct carb parts wise
Hi there!
Yep! I found our either later in this video or in the next one (memory of a gnat) that the carb is actually backward. I appreciate your comment!
@@TractorFella yeah I hadn't got that far at the time of commenting but just seen the video, little jealous that all your lights and electric starter works, mine doesn't 🤣
@tolerantobject6656 Haha no worries! It's how things go. eBay has some lights and parts out there for prices that aren't insane. I hope you get it running and rolling!
I never liked these mini bikes because they look ugly in Facebook but when i counterone one in the junkyard i just had to buy it they sold it to me for 40 dollars and now im dying to get it running. Im going to call it my Frankinstein. ..
That's what I paid for this one at a garage sale! Haha Probably isn't worth much more now that it's running 😆
Good luck getting it running! It's fun to ride, but be careful turning with the dual rears. It's pretty awkward lol Have fun!
Just think of it as a honda z50 2.0 lol
It's a total score then! 🤣🍻
What fuel are you using for this bike? It’s mixed?
Hello. Yes, it's a 2-stroke, so it takes a mix fuel. I'm using the same 50:1 I use in my chainsaws. 👍🏻👍🏻
I have a predator 212 chopper
Nice! I bet it rips!
My turn signals stop working how do i fix that
No clue! Front or rear?
WAY WAY WAY over-engineered.
Haha yeah, lots of features considering you can't really ride it on the road!
