    I doubt it. I think whatever you ride on Texas beaches has to be street legal. This probably won't go anywhere.

    Looks like the front drum brake is going to clean up good. Got the rim cleaned too. Will look pretty good when its painted. Man you need one of those Jaws Of Life the firemen use to get a tire off a rim that has been sitting 20 years. Did order a new front tire. Its a little smaller. I hope it...

    I was in Houston the other day. I started to run by your house but figured you were working. Good to hear from you. Hope your doing ok.

    I remember those scooters that were 2 wheel drive. I can figure out lots of things, but how they do that ,I have no clue. This is just for fun, I doubt that it will get much use.

    Luke its every kids dream to build a mini bike. I could have built one a bunch of times and never did. I have absolutely no use for this and no place to ride it. Of course needing something has never been high on my list of reasons to get something. I think it will turn out cool and maybe I...

    Walker just wanted to waste a little time and money. Probably won't use this but it keeps me off the street. Deorman I'm pretty limited to what a HF hydraulic bender will bend. It wouldn't do two 90's close to each other. I had to bend two and weld them together. I miss my JD2 bender. Oh yeah...

    Thanks I appreciate it. I'm having a hard time not making this look like a bike. Old habits are hard to break.

    Glad you like it. I'm thinking a 6.5 HF motor with one of the Comet torque a verters and a jack shaft.

    Ok I'm bored and I had this front wheel off of an old Honda three wheeler. I had trashed the rest of it. Anyway i decided that it could be used for something. I had my fab buddy build me a couple parts where I could put a sprocket on it. Ok that worked pretty good so now I have a cool big...

    A try with a motor

    Its funny you either like a Tecumseh , or hate them. Since this is the first one I have had, I'm not sure where I stand. It wouldn't be my first choice for a motor. For $20 bucks and it was clean. I couldn't resist. It might do good then again it might blow up. While I'm planning what to...

    A try with a motor

    I ordered another carb from Amazon for the Tecumseh and it was crap too. Guess china replacement carbs are not that good. Keep surging and wouldn't idle. I had a carb off of a small scooter. I cleaned it up and put it on. Worked perfect, plus it gives you a cable that will hookup to a scooter...

    A try with a motor

    Well Steve's father, and his wife both rode the bike. It did good. Chain seems to stretch pretty quick. I did order the new carb for the Tecumseh. Should be here in a few days. Then the decision on another build should be a little easier to make. Maybe a pusher or maybe just another regular...

    That one on the kit/bike is perfect. The bad one is on this Tecumseh. Its been sitting for a couple years.

    Thanks Luke. The carb on this motor is terrible. I cleaned it three times and it still won't idle. I tried a carb off one of my small scooters and it was too big. Had to run it with the choke on all the time. I will get it figured out. Fun to play with anyway.

    Got my old Tecumseh out, cleaned it up and got it running. May be on the next build. Got some searching to find the parts that will work with this motor.

    A try with a motor

    It said not to run it past half throttle, but it will take off without pedaling, so it has enough power. I guess when he breaks it in then he can find out the top speed. I will probably ride it tomorrow and see if the big seat is worth it. I have one on another bike and it is really comfy. Watch...

    A try with a motor

    Ok since there probably won't be a lot of pedaling going on , I decided to go with the big Worksman seat. Won't be a fashion statement , but its really comfy on your rear. The front tire is out of round or something. I tried reseating it several times and it still has a hump in it. Going to...
