    There’s probably thousands of these mini bikes laying in barns. I have one complete Honda 50 in my basement along with a spare motor and parts from others. This video gave me the inspiration to make it rideable again for my grandson.

    Back in the mid 60’s, my friends and I all had homemade mini bikes. We’d get a frame, used of course, and created our bikes. One of the guys father bought him a brand new Rupp mini bike. Your bike reminds me of that. It blew all of our “homemade” bikes away. Great times

    Hey when you were testing the compression and it said 60 psi that's how it's supposed to be from the factory. It's got a compression release you would have to spin the engine over with a drill to get the true compression number. Also should replace that clutch before buying anything else.

    That mini bike is a 1970 ramjet it would have had 4hp Tecumseh engine on it there's another model too that's called a trailjet but I'm very positive that it's a ramjet 1970 and I'm 💯 percent positive cool little bike I actually own but mine was blue

    I have to ask, the bikes you pickup are usually neglected, why is it that you never wash them off before tearing into them? You’re just transferring the grim on to all the parts you pull apart. 😊. Quick ask solves the grime on your gloves transferring on to engine parts.

    Got me to thinking about my first gas powered vehicle. 1962 Cushman mini bike. 3 1/2 hp B&S motor, centrifugal clutch, chain driven with a jackshaft. It was a Christmas gift when I was 8. I loved that thing…I bought gas for it by finding empty pop bottles. Most I ever put in it was 11cents worth of high test, at a local ESSO station

    You pulled the upper half of the carb off with the brass tube installed. That often causes damage to the carb body. That brass tube unscrews before separating the two half's. Also I have never seen a 5hp Briggs with an updraft carb, they usually have a suction type with the gas tank attached to the carb, though the updraft should work, but was most likely off a 3hp Briggs.
