Hi all, first post.
I got the bug for a motorized bike after seeing a neat bike around town so I did a search and found this board, thus the journey begins.
I have a nice mountain bike and I bought a little chinese made minibike from a yard sale a year or so ago for $15, the owner said it didnt run and it needed a few parts, I tinkered with it for a couple of hours and the motor runs great!
I have removed the engine from the bike and have it mounted in my vice for some cleaning and inspection.
It is a two stroke, unknown displacement ( i`m thinking 36cc?) it has a gear reduction transmission, a centrifugal clutch and it is electric start + pull start.
heres the pix:
the donor minibike
I connected a 12v alarm system sealed lead acid battery and it turned over very well, the carburetor throttle plate is cracked so it will not travel througout it`s entire range, the parts seem cheap enough but I need to identify the brand and model so I can order parts.
if this engine is 36cc will it be powerful enough to run my mountainbike with my 190lb. butt on it? or should I go for a 50cc, I live in Florida so I gather that 50cc is my max size limit.
Thanks in advance for any information.
