And Guinness served from a frosty vase while fixing your latest $20 score

the thing screams, glad it has disks that work
the owner said it needed a carb
but as suspected ,i spyed a neglected tank full of crap .
means only one thing CLEAN IT AND IT WILL RUN



sure enough an hour later


i think now it runs time for a make over ,booze saddle bags with intravenous feed air horns and the smallest pillion seat i can find .
cos im always up for giving pretty girls a ride .
Black satin frame with red tank ducati monster style.

That is so cool great score, so much fun too! I picked one up years ago for my niece and added some training wheels and a "Limiter" in the carb just a tube to limit how much the throttle opened. Oh and if you want to get a bit more out of the brakes just swap the levers to BMX style alloy ones - makes a world of difference! Hope you have a blast.

i just checked the finger levers are alloy 2 finger jobs and also the stinger pipe has a extra muffler ?
Two mufflers on a two stroke ?????

Mufflers on a two stroke?, sounds like a reason to pull the insides out, turn the main jet out 6 hours and hold on a little ( no pun intended ) tighter!!

i can pull away at speed and acceleration is good
my friend in the pic is 260 lbs and it still got up and went ,
but after 40secs it splutters and dies wont start for a few mins then same again ? i have no idea so it will be going to the weedwacker outpatients a couple of blocks over .
i figured a way to the 7-11 with out getting rundown or caught its only a few blocks ,
plus good for the dogs so this will be trumping any rc builds for today

Carb is gunked and or the jets and or the fuel lines
