Cool. Thanks Bill. The brochure on these say it came with a 3hp. And I think a head gasket is the least of my worries!
Also,looks like I'm going to be needing a front wheel for a folding Go Devil. Anyone help outta brother?
Volvo, it's a bicycle that I motorized over the winter, before and after. We also built "Taco" Knockoff, using a HF 212 cc Honda copy, with torque converter as well. It's a handful !
And the beat goes on. Picked up the Go Devil an hour ago. Going to start cleaning up what isn't tomorrow. New red powder coat, motor looks great and has great compression. I wonder if that tire will hold air with the broken rim?
Some kids just never grow up huh Marty , how much fun is there in that. I'd give anything to find my old Mac 10 powered Ben Hunt minibike from 1967.
Was cleaning on the Go Devil engine today among other parts and found this,(see pic), they look burned to a crisp. When I looked at it before buying it I saw it but thought it was electric tape covering the wire ends.The dude that sold it to me said he was riding it before tearing it down for cleanup and powdercoat, so I don't even know if this is a major problem. I see that the one is the wire to the kill switch, but what are the other two? Is this a Go Devil only wire harness, or can I go in and rewire it pretty easily? Also anyone know a source for an exploded view of these things so I can find out where all this jigsaw goes?
399.00 and climbing It's a disease without any cure I tell ya. I have 7 now. Sold one last Friday and sold another last month.
4 in 3 days. None running. Picked up a newer rolling frame and an old chrome J.C.Penney Bird yesterday too. I'll have these things hanging from trees soon.
^^^ yep !!! That's great I drive myself crazy with this stuff. Can't sleep to well since I've seen this:
This is my 1970 K&S Manufacturing Roadrunner made in Fort Worth, Texas, I shot clear coat over the frame since it was original then upgraded the tired motor. Bike4 by olskoolrodder posted Apr 16, 2015 at 11:01 AM
moped vs 1000 cc gsxr. Moped in far lane . This is not a vintage mini, however the drivetrain is flat out scary stupid fast and could be put into any vintage bike.
Dean, My bike has the same wheelbase as a BSA 441 Victor. However, if you want to see a real mini Speedway Bike, watch this video, prepare to be impressed !
Can you guys help me identify this. I think its an old Manco Tri-Rod? Trying to get in the ball park as to Its value , what year ect. Thanks.
Got her all finished up! I went with a 212 predator engine, header pipe, air filter and re jet. Used the parts and cover from a commet cat 99 torque converter and a longer manco belt. It goes way faster than I care to on that little bike, and the low end is enough to jerk it right out from underneath you to the point of being dangerous. I was thinking about a drive gear change to tame some of that low end but that will also increase the top speed that's already too fast. Really impressed with it.
Porsche930dude, Those 2 bikes are quite tasty looking. Friend's older brother, had one of those Yamaha's when we were teenagers. Was a wicked machine, for it's time. Still very cool, in my book. Nice job on the junior board track racer. Well executed.
Thanks guys it came out better than I thought it would. Yeah that Yamaha is a 1970 ds6 250 2 stroke 2 cyl. It hauls ass. I dont ride many street bikes so I have nothing to compare it to but its a hoot. I got it for free from my neighbor who bought it new for his high school graduation present. he rode it for like 5 years then just stored it away. He also has a honda ct70 im probrobly going to end up with when he sells his house.
If any of you guys have any Fuji Go Devil parts that you'd like to part with, holler at me. I really need a front wheel (the half without the air valve) and a recoil starter spare.
Anyone have any idea what this one might be? I just got it the other day. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Can't remember what brand but had one just like is many many moons ago. The taper at the very bottom of the fork tubes is something I remember and worried about bending back in the day.
