Hey You're alive! I got banned on facebook.

@ElijahMiniBikes 😆 FB kinda sucks anyway. There are lots of troublemakers and static that just bring you down.

@ It's a shame. i liked using the market place. but yes i agree. facebook has turned into a AI highway and scammers. Am using craigslist and eBay for Buy/Sell now. How have you been?

@ElijahMiniBikes Still working a lot but I'm learning and progressing. We weld and fabricate everything for our repairs in-house. We're working in the shop right now, getting a cnc and lathe set up.

@ I would like to get into more with computers and 3D printing. Been working on rebuilding my room at my moms house and learned quite a lot on some simple carpentry work. I'll be around Minibikes still. I do plan on getting some cameras again once im settled in more. but for right now, im just going to take it easy. I appreciate you stopping by and chatting for a bit. We miss your content too!

Sure thing!, I don't know if I'm going to keep up with anyone on this. Be great around the fairgrounds and in town.

We will be there again this year. I'll be bringing my 86 Z50R and RedRiddler.

Spitting up oil out of the exhaust could be flooded with water in the oil. Sweeping past the rings as it sits for a very long time. As long as you have compression, spark, fuel and timing.. you got yourself an engine that will run. thanks for watching -Elijah

Oh wow, people still watch this video! Grant it, 'tis out of date. I will say the muffler is still holding up strong after 2 years of daily use. It's great for just shutting the bike up just a bit for the neighborhood rides. Thanks for watching.

Thanks man.

yeah this video is outdated. I've stopped making videos because i just dont have the equipment to make videos. The silencer is quieter than straight pipe but louder than a stock muffler in short summary.

I still have the mower to this day. It leaks a little because of the seat and the sealing isn't all that great. Runs good though. i have to put a shutoff valve before the carburetor when ever i turn the engine off or it will flood the engine with gas.

thanks, i havent cleaned it since from portland. been just trying to drive it only on dry days and avoid puddles.

absolutely! not the fastest thing. really dangerous for on the roads here. people drive 15 mph over the speed limit. itll be only used for on the pastures and dirt roads in between.

i still have this one and mow around my camper with it. starts on the third pull most times. the seal on the needle for the float doesnt seal so it will leak fuel eventually. it has a shut off valve in the fuel line to prevent flooding the engine when the engine is turned off.

stock. didn't mess with jet sizes.

@@ElijahMiniBikes So the 40 pilot and 115 main? My bike refuses to run for some reason.

@@ElijahMiniBikes what did you do to your air fuel and idle?

Oh yeah! Bring on the Z50s! im addicted to those little buggers now that i got one.

Thanks Matt! nice meeting you there.

Theyre amazingly comfortable for such a simple design. the best in comfort i might add. however, it does drive like a truck with heavy steering and terrible turning radius.

Always!

Just got home from portland. how are you doing?

@@ElijahMiniBikes I just got home as well great time for sure hope to see ya next year!

Old and Young! even the old guys are still kids by heart!

it does a solid 40 easily. Good all around cruiser for the park in Portland or around town. Love using this for around here. just makes sense to use something small and practical for just going to the mailbox distances.

Hey Wes! Thanks. That's ol' rainbow vomit haha.

@@ElijahMiniBikes I think Red Riddler has a better ring to it

Custom made by Brad Hill.

Good engines. Been liking the vanguards a few times for minibike builds.

Yep! You can see me in his ‘22 and ‘23 Portland videos. Thanks for Watching!

Very similar, I believe that would’ve been a late 78 with a ranger package. Mines a 79 with the lariat package.

That’s my baby!

Hey thanks for just watching the video! That’s awesome. I’m seeing more people come around again with mowing season back in action.

Personally, I love the Honda’s. But Briggs are awesome engines as well. Thanks for watching!

No hate sometimes they arent the riding mowers they havr parts that break really easy and u have to take all the intwrnald out to fix it

@@IanRaddant Never had issues with either Honda or Briggs.

And a time where backaches were much more common than headaches.

Is built in new Zealand good ass build in America I'm kiwi lol

Eh, I don’t know about “they would like to have it again” part. I have a few newer mowers the same size that are way lighter and easier to push around or to be picked up into a bed of a truck. This is definitely a solid piece of machinery and it’s not going away any time soon. But if I’m going to be mowing up and down hills, I would like to have something that has self propelled.

Oh No! that's too bad. man, those things are a fortune now. just 200-300 for just a roller with bad paint. but if you truly love those minibikes, it may be worth it to get and rebuild one. Thanks for Watching!

Straight from the Nibbi website.

GTC Torque Converters. we bought it without the front driver because we knew we were going to change it to a Tork-Zilla later on. i dont remember the price but it was around $100. plus another 80 for the Super Driver.

Brad Hill, on FaceBook.

@@ElijahMiniBikes alrighty thanks

I believe it’s the other way around. Further in is more restrictive and less noise. To be honest. I don’t think it makes a difference. It probably does, but not going to notice it on something as small as a 99cc engine.

We flatten the tires to barely anything in them at all afterwards. Made a big difference. I wonder if there’s a way to lock the diff on these hydro-matics

@@ElijahMiniBikes I think there is. I watched a mud mower video before that had a list of things you can do to them.

On a budget. Moving out and saving money for rent! 😬

Awesome! Glad to see people still watching the video. We’re about to get started on a few minis for this years Portland. Man, it felt like yesterday we were just there.

The Ghost is made by Ducar. Expensive for what it is, that’s why no one really appreciates them. $300 for an engine that’s not ready out of the box. Still needs an exhaust, fuel tank, air filter and throttle cable to function properly. It’s a classed engine. It’s meant to be dropped into go karts for karts to have equal power so there’s no cheaters in races. The Torkzilla or Juggs are a super series version of the standard 30 series. You can put them on a stock engine but you won’t get the same performance you thought you would expect. The over drive gear ratio is much smaller vs what it is on a standard series clutch. They’re intended for engines to Rev up to their better powerband to make better power. If it’s going on a stock engine, it will go slower than what it had before. The standard 30 series you have to do maintenance on frequently to keep them working properly. Just as you would with a chained Centrifugal clutch. If you don’t, they tend to stick and not be fluid throughout their variable ratios.

The juggernaut is a heavy duty one piece assembly. Very nice if you tend to lose washers etc like I do.

Put one on, did exactly what you said it would, falls on its face, starts slipping real bad. Can I safely do the zip tie trick as long as I don't rev it too high for too long? It does fine up to 20 and then starts slipping, engine is revving, it wants to go even governed this engine goes up to 4500 rpm. I have a tach. Weird

I'm just gonna go slow, at least I have some smoothness to the shifting especially downshifting. I keep those drivers clean clean and they still are crap

Was gonna tell you that BT200s are pretty heavy too
