| |  The garbage pile yields more treasure!
I love the trash people throw out, this one is in better shape than my last and it already has a kit, well sort of, its pretty rough. Its has compression and spark, I think it will live to ride again. Then engine cleaned up real nice, the sproket was waiting to kill someone though.

Wow, you found that in the garbage? What a find. I thought my self propelled lawn mower that came from a dumpster was find. But a bike with a motor. How cool.......................

these engines are so simple according to Norman it shouldn't be too much trouble. |

If you have spark and (enough) compression, all you then need is some 36/1 mix and doublecheck all the manifold/exhaust/head bolts/nuts. |

If nothing else a bike motor for parts would be a great find. I'm always amazed how much of a junk bike I use before I throw the skeleton away. I would keep even the frames if I had room. Usually a wheel that isn't perfect gets tossed as well as the frame. But honest to god I can't buy a tire as cheap as a junk store bike. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
