  • In todays video we engine swap our DIY Mini Bike, The Little Rascal. We do a top speed on the Tillotson 212 then pull that engine and clutch to put on a 79cc with a cvt. We didn't really know what to expect with the 79cc because we've never messed with one before. It surprised all of us by how well it worked and the top speed of 18mph. We down graded the bike with this engine so my son, Grayson, can have it to ride.

    Mr Red Beard, out here in kommie do gooder land (Los Angeles) the 79cc has disappeared. It’s no longer CA compliant. Funny thing is, the new water pumps on display have a shiney red tank and fan covering a 98cc motor that’s also displayed on the new 1800W generators. The medium pumps have a red tank and fan shroud hiding a 212 Hemi! With the two Max performance motors out and the “Ghost” about to appear, I’m praying the 98cc will be the replacement. Can’t use the generator motor since they usually sport a tapered drive end on the crank with the side cover being the cast mount for the armature. The pumps look to bolt on to the normal cover and should have a straight keyed shaft (hopefully). Trying to put together an Azusa kit bike for small folks and really want a little motor like this. I’d pay good money for a 3 horse flathead if I could find one.

    I'm shocked you didn't remove the governor. ALSO, on the Dodlebug mini bike you do not need the bottom mounting plate the 79cc comes with. Bolts in without it and sprockets line up properly to use a clutch instead of torque converter.

  • @ProbeGT2
    @ProbeGT2 3 роки тому +2

    if you could put a smaller sprocket on the cvt, and remove the governor, upgrade valve spring and let it rev 5-6000 rpm, it would pull really well down low and have a higher top speed.

    So how’s the rake and trail geometry on that bike? From the looks of it the steering tube is too steep to get proper trail distance to avoid a squirrelly dangerous steering situation. Got an old Montgomery wards bike that’s like that and it’s super sketchy. Like trying to keep a shopping carts front caster wheel pointing out forward as you push the cart forward when it wants to flop around to lag behind instead.

    I put a predator 212 in my home made mini bike. Its scarry as hell to ride since I've already taken a couple falls at 35 mph with no protection... brused up my heel pretty good that last time and couldn't walk for a couple days. To be fair I didn't have the brakes setup yet so I was doing the Flintstones. But since I've got them working now I feel the torque converter i have topping out at 5k rpm and it has a rattle to it that's super annoying. Thing was only like 60 bucks on Amazon so I definitely need to upgrade.

It has a 43 tooth rear if I counted it right with a 4.00x5 back wheel. If you could help guide me it would be appreciated. It had a 50cc 2 stroke to begin with that pulled me but it was slow going up hill. So figured the 79cc would be no issue. But was wrong
