      I'd say more like an alarm system lol. I have a motorized bicycle and it doesn't have the bicycle chain hooked up and the pedals just spin. A kid tried to steal it one day and couldn't figure out how to get it to move because I had the clutch engaged and he was just sitting on it spinning the pedals for all he was worth lol 🤣

    Well we know the next few months will be mini bikes rebuild content, nice. I live in a small farm community and our honda shop closed about 5 yrs ago and last week I went looking at the old building to buy as a shop and the whole place is still full of new parts and used dirt and street bikes. It's like they just closed one night and never came back. Hoping my bank loan comes though then open as a small engine/cycle repair shop.

    The blue bike with fenders and missing motor is called a Grand Prix by Deckson. Aussie-commissioned, built in Taiwan. Originally came with a 3-3.5 Tecumseh engine as far as I know. I've just restored a grand prix with a Tecumseh H35 and 15 tooth max torque clutch. Runs up to mid-30s on a little small block, the entire bike is extremely lightweight with dual suspension and folds completely flat including handlebars for backseat storage, I bet fully folded the bike could fit in a Miata trunk... I recommend building a new seat bracket, the stock ones seem to be made of tin-foil

    I had a Scattcat AYT660 as a kid. That one is a 1976 model. The best motor to put on it is a Briggs and Stratton 5hp edger motor with a centrifugal clutch. You cannot put a foot starter on it. It will not clear the frame. You're going to need to use a pull starter like the one that comes with the Briggs and Stratton.

    Ike, when you are running a carb that is too small, you draw more vacuum. That causes the engine to run rich. A bigger jet only makes the problem worse. A bigger fuel jet doesn’t allow more air to the engine, it just gives a choked down engine way too much fuel.
