at almost 70 years old I did not have mini bikes and go carts in my area plus could have never afforded one. When my kids came along I was over protective to keep them from getting hurt. Now you guys have me looking everywhere for go carts and min bikes. I just found a slick 1970 go cart with a chrome engine and almost no usage at all. I plan to restore it and have it at the Charlotte flea market in sept. Still looking for a mini bike. Thanks for the fun I get watching you guys

So, to summarize: Use prices you find online as a rule of thumb as the MAXIMUM you should pay The more features, the more you should be prepared to pay The laws of supply and demand apply- if you’re in an area with a big mini bike following, but not many bikes for sale, be prepared to pay more. Same goes for vice versa. All in all, mini bikes are a niche product, in various shapes, makes, models, etc. For these reasons, it’s difficult to put a standard value on mini bikes and go karts. Basically, they’re worth whatever the prospective buyer is willing to pay. Can’t wait to restore this one!

I found something I don't thing you guys ever talked about. My predator 301 cc wasn't getting gas, so I cleaned the carb and still had the same problem (with choke stalls). I pulled the hose off the carb and saw that there was little to no gas coming out. So I cleaned tank, still same problem. There is a pet-cock on the tank, removed it and saw a 1/4" filter attached. It was clacked, so I cut it off opened the hole, and put it back together. worked great. added an in-line filter to replace it. Something you could show to your viewers in one of your builds. Keep up the great work.

That thing needs a torque converter on it, they're way better than a centrifugal clutch, less loss of power to the drive wheel, wider range of top end speed, and low end torque, also I would put coil over shocks on the rear, and you had a good idea putting a billet connecting rod, also a billet fly wheel, porting and polishing the intake port, new valves, springs and cam, that mikuni carburetor was an improvement for sure, ya it looks like you guy's are on the right track, can't wait to see it all done up in a future video, nice Job !

I never really had any mini bikes myself, I did have a good little go cart and a beater three wheeler though, they got me into riding four wheelers right about the same time the old go cart was borrowed without permission and the old 3 wheeler took her last ride.

It had a 4horse Tecumseh on it too and the first thing the old man did when he brought it home was disconnect the governor, and it had a smaller sprocket than that one too, so with my brother riding it, he was smaller than me, but it would hit around 30-35 mph.

You really need to ride a Rupp from that same era. A Srambler, Enduro, Roadster 2 etc all ride better. PLUS you can still buy New parts for Rupp's. You mentioned "she" when you talked about the seat. That has to be Karen. She doesn't Great work, I'm sure you will agree when you get it in a couple months. A few years ago all I did was buy, fix, restore and sell Minibikes. This video made my day. PS Please don't screw up that bike by changing the exhaust pipe. That is Classic ! Oh, when you check the oil in a tilted engine like that you have to put the front tire on a milk crate or something so the oil pan is level with the ground. Once level just put in enough oil to cover the threads of the screw plug.

In my area 150 for that is a steal. Thst bike looks mostly unmodified except the carb and is in great shape. I just picked up a 1971 speedway stinger for 125. Flat tires, rear tire rubs on the scrub brake, no suspension, forks have been broken and welded what looks to be 3 or more times, wrong engine, leaking oil, broken kickstand. And that was the best one for the money that i could find. Got it home and poured some gas in it and it fired right up after sitting for 5 years.

That looks a lot like my old Speedway minibike. I miss that beast.

Keep it original, love those old bikes. I have four Rupps, and several knock off ones like that one. So cool

Wish I still had my 1971 Rupp Scrambler. Beautiful metallic Green. Unfortunately it was stolen shortly after it threw a rod.

Loved this episode. Can't wait to see this tecumseh build. Ps I wish you guys had some 3xl shirts, especially mini mayhem.
