Bought a 48 Whizzer
- Thread starter jbcruisin
- Start date
Mine has the single speed auto clutch. I rebuilt it & had a hard time finding a new clutch plate (with the pads)
How it coming along Jay? I am hooked with Whizzers now, I used to want a full size bike, but who needs one. You were right about Me loving Whizzers. (that sounds strange) But anyways post some pics when you get a chance.
Finally we have a place to grind our cams. I have a "Weber" lift cam for my bike & got spares ground too. Pictures to come.
Thanks Ray. I hope I can get it started. We're afraid the belts might slip. Once I get it started & take it for a good ride it will loosen up.
I got the engine back from Quenton yesterday. I got it running today. I didn't take it out for a ride but it seems strong.
I put about a quart of premium in to get it started. There is a small airport near me where I can get fuel.
Thanks jb, i'll keep that in mine.
I use 100 octane from Union 76 ( ConocoPhillips ) gas station here in Cali , it's the only gas that doesn't have ethanol.
It's sold as Racing fuel and is good on both my vintage and new edition Whizzers

Had it out today for the first time. Need to dial in the carb but has lots of power. Bonnie heard it run & said I need to put a video on so everyone can hear it.
I bent 2 clutch dogs on the auto clutch so I put the slip clutch on until the carb & stuff is dialed in. It's an NE pipe. They're a little bigger in diameter than the earlier pipes.
Haven't had much weather to ride these days but I went out on the new build yesterday with my son. He was riding my 99 Whizzer. The 99 is pretty fast. I stayed ahead of him for the trip & wondered why he didn't try to race me. When we got back to my place he told me he couldn't keep up with me. On the last stretch before my house I passed right by him & he said he was wide open. This thing is fast. It has one of our high lift cams in it & I can feel the difference this cam makes.
