What a cool smart kid ! The kid behind the camera is pretty awesome too! Great job guys!
Nice work, I used to have one just like that in Highschool. I'm currently building one with my son. I hope he enjoys it as much as I did.
Have the same bike lol just different engine it's a tecumseh 2hp pulled it out of the trash it had everything on it too. It's a restoration project now for my brother
Thanks for sharing this informative and interesting video
Great video
Looks like fun
Thank you for sharing
At 7:45 the bike starts self cleaning.... Lol 😁
Got a frame just like it I found in our barn under a bunch of bikes and me and my dad built it while in lockdown put a 6.5 hp motor on and is super fun
Right on that's awesome!
Cool find man.
Really great work guys super cool content awesome work
Thank you! We've got a couple cool new projects we hope to get out soon!
Good job!
Damn!! That's not a knife lmao.
That air filter looked fine just had some rocks on it, good build though
Buy a old-fashioned whistle choke carburetor for it
Another thing, you should put the straight pipe from the parts engine on there.
I did back in the day but it's not good for a mini bike because its extremely easy to burn your leg on. Not fun.
"Just when I think, you couldn't possibly be and dumber, you go and do something like this... and totally redeem yourself!"
You call that a knife? Nice one👍
Excellent huge fan of you guys thinking bout building one got no parts would u guys send me some
Hope you change the oil in the damn thing and clean the spark plug or put a new one in
The oil in it was actually fine, we forgot to show checking the oil. And the spark plugs is fine for now.
Don't have a razor blade, just use a Bowie knife. Nice.
Tools of the trade😎
Have you identified that frame? Is it a bird?oh i see it in the description.
I have the same exact motor. Was just wondering how you guys got the throttle to work with it. I can’t quite get it. There seems to be like 2 levers. I think one is the throttle and the other is the speed limiter. Also where did you get the carb rebuild kit from. I think mine is doing the same thing. It dies off once I pull the throttle to full throttle
I got the carb kit from a local lawn mower shop. You can get the rebuild kits on Amazon though! The throttle kit is available on ombwarehouse.com
(I need a knife) 2 seconds later pulls out a Bowie knife
I have the same frame lol
I have the same engine and when I opened the air filter there was 100s of huntsman spiders
How do you get the back screw out of the carburetor mine is hidden by the carburetor
What kind of carb did you put on after you hot rid of the first one? Mine has the same 2 lever setup and I didn't think I could make it into a minibike motor. Think it's around the same model as yours
There are 2 styles of carb for these. The older ones have an adjustable jet and a pull choke on the back. The newer style carbs are not adjustable and use a butterfly choke. The gas tanks are not interchangeable between the two carbs, so you need the gas tank + carb off of an older Briggs. Also the lower gas tank bracket doesn't bolt up on the newer style blocks.
Buenicimo
Hey there next time you use anything on a gasket use form a gasket looks like tar or baby s*** that's really good to resist fuel transmission fluid kerosene silicone is not really good for resisting fuel
Thanks for the tip!
Man I want to know how to find these junkyards that have go karts, mini bikes, lawn mowers etc plz someone tell me how to find these
My hometown has a salvage yard. It's all luck. You'd be surprised what people throw out.
hondayamahafan any special names for these yards I love in Houston and only have car junkyards near me
I'm not gonna give the one I go to, but try metal recycling/places that take any scrap metal. I recommend calling and asking if they have anything or ask if you can look around. A lot of places don't let you do that sort of thing.
hondayamahafan thanks for the tip. I will try that. Sweet bike u got
Also I've only ever found this one mini bike frame all 10 years I've been going out to this yard. Engines are easier to find because they come on tillers/wood chippers/etc. I've seen a couple go kart frames but they're usually beat beyond repair or mangled from the claw they use to unload stuff
I see you got a whistle choke carburetor on that old engine why won't it fit
Hi everyone, I like mini bikes that are so cool. Can anyone of you name the song from 9:35 thanks?
Brakes?
It's got a scrub brake
Wanna sell the minibike without the motor?
No thanks, we're gonna hang onto it.
