new build old huffy mountain bike

I know I could just get hole bottom end but I am a hands on type so wile I am waiting for parts I am going to port the cylinder and cases for what that is worth and replace the bearings with good ones and the seals.After that I know the cranks is my weakest link so I have a freind that rebuilds cranks and will give it to him to make a super good crank he knows all the tricks.

I just found a new use for the rag joint plates .I put a top hat sproket addapter on a disk brake rim I got a wile ago.I had to modify the caliper a bit to fit inside the 2 but got it to work.Now my brakes work great so much better,I played with the timeing today and got some more power out of it,I have a 66 cc with a 40 tooth sprocket for the hills around here in NH.I think I am done on this bike for the year just going to drive it to work ,got 265 miles on it so far with little trouble mostly just tweeking the set up.I am going to do a 4 stoke next year on a different frame with a shift kit.

Well I got about 500 miles out of the 2 smoker and it broke a ring on the way home from work.This was my first MB and I had a learning curve and think I tweeked it out to much also had problems with the gen 2 carb that I finaly thew out and got a good carb.

I am going to recycle this bike because I like the heavy frame and it handles good.I got a 5 hp honda OHC GC160 for it and made my own motor mount.I have a tork coverter belt drive for it and got it mounted today.I am looking for a charging coil for it ad have plans to complete the lighting system with blinkers/high low beem,stop and tail lights.

My only problem is the drive spocket comes out behind the clutch not on the back side of the clutch shaft so as to aline with the rear sprocket.I am looking into other builds here,scotto has a picture of his build with the clutch backing plate I think I need.

I am going to to add a hi flow air filter and I made my manifold for my straight pipe today.This bike is going to be heavy but I think the motor will make up for it.Will post more pictures soon

You should never use the words "Huffy" and "Mtn. Bike" in the same sentence. This is the very reason that the Huffy toss was invented. If you have never heard of the Huffy toss, it's a classic game played by "real" mtn. bikers in that who ever can toss the HEAVY Huffy the furthest wins a prize. It was quite a popular competition in the late 80's into the 90's.........true story!
