i hope to pick up the leds this weekend and mount them. i wanna get it done. i cant wait to see what it looks like on the bike. it wasnt that hard at all to make.

[cintidude04]

lol your ideas are all well and good but perhaps they should be placed in a more appropriate thread

[cintidude04]

whose bright idea was it to use phillips head screws to mount the carb intake boots to my old pre engine.... ahh. well Ill see if the screw outs work on them tomorrow. got some of the wiring sorted out today. hopefully be ready to hook the carbs up soon and try tuning them for the new engine.

Picked up a new-to-me toy to fix up an play around with at campsites. but with all the good things Ive heard bout tecumseh 5.5 engines this one just doesnt wanna stay running when you open up the throttle. still not too bad for 20 $

[fox24086]

is that a rupp?

[cintidude04]

to be honest I have no idea. Ive been trying to find out more bout the frame and the motor, far as I know the motor is an old tecumseh 5.5. been thinking about extending the frame and putting a 125cc dirtbike engine in.

[fox24086]

if that is a real rupp mini bike there worth some money. u might just need to rebuild the carb and svc the engine and you chould b good 2 good.

[cintidude04]

after talking to some friends on custom fighters, was told it is an old rupp, but more likely had a 4 hp tecumseh rather than 5.5

[fox24086]

there a fun mini bike but prob not enough *** to pull u around tho

[cintidude04]

therefore I pop in a 125cc dirtbike engine. more than enough to haul my fat @$$ around lol

[fox24086]

hell put a kat600 motor in

[cintidude04]

I considered it, I do have an extra one of those lying around, was thinking of using it for a buggy project

Question... what kind of lift did you get out of the B12 shock? I want to put something a little heavier duty in mine.

[cintidude04]

dont have any actual measurements, but I'd say bout 1.5", enough to get the chain to rest on top of the SA when I'm not on the bike. and yes that is with the chain set up properly with 1" of play

[Dexter]

I actually wanted to lower my bike a bit. I have a lowering link kit (courtesy of Ne_Oublie) that drops the bike by a whopping 2" I think. If I put both together I should get a nice half inch drop as well as a beefier suspension. The mod wheels are turning...

[cintidude04]

I believe most people that have done that said it was bout the same height as stock.
If you wan a beefier suspension an also have it lowered then you definitely wanna talk to Tmod about rebuilding your shock with a more appropriate spring
