Vintage Grumble

These the wheels your gonna use? Cars looking great BTW, your fab work is HARD CORE.

I've used dynopower a few times, they seem pretty good, and like you say, a lot cheaper then most places. Only thing I was displeased with was they dont seem to get idle to like 2000rpm tune rite, ended up doing it myself both times. Also car looks mean, one of the best looking jap cars IMO.

Classy looking ute, very well done.

I like these cars, done up rite they are chur, make us proud.

Yep, thats the buggers, managed to find a ph number, but they wont answer land line or cell? I have a pair of 13x9 rims of theres, want to price up having two centers made to suit.

Im trying to find a phone number for a company that makes wheels in NZ, but cant remember the name of the place, its like 41 degree wheels or something like that? Someone on here had a brochure for them? One of the styles they make is: Trying to find out the model name for these also ^ Any help would be grand.

Its so bland, its beautiful.

Stink about crash, looks like it could have gotten way fuglier. I was a dirty ol wrecker a long time ago, we had a 72cc cut off saw with a 14 inch blade, fuck I loved that thing. Is fun when you cut fuel lines, gas catches on fire, underseal starts to burn, whole car blazes up and you dont notice as its already full of two stroke smoke, those were the days. Good luck with the rebuild.

This spoiler style is 1000000000% better then the other. Fuck I want a starlowagon.

Looks good, nice to see a KP that aint boganfucked.

You get shit done fast. Looks fucking mean. But I really think roof chop will ruin its shit.

Chhhuuuurrrrrr

I use Mobil 1 as I got 40L of it for free BUT mobil is shit, castrol make much better oil IMO/am a fan of castrol.

That must be fun to drive, shitpiss inducing no doubt. Mmmmmm Gwen.

Thats looking rather chur.

^ Have also seen this done, dude said it worked fine.

I was a bit worried about the cam thing, as 2x motors are off rotary hoes (the 2 shitter ones) and the other off a lawn mower. I only just noticed the other night, that the lawn mower engine has a much smaller out put shaft, I'm guessing because it fed into a clutch, and didnt have a pulley/belt driving straight off it like the others? I pulled the shittest motor apart, and if needs be can slap that cam/crank into the other motor. Is really hard finding any info on these motors, found listings for all the engine codes, but nothing saying what the difference between them is? And yes, it will sound horrible, horrible like a FOX!

make them some obscure angle and reduce idle speed to barely moving for maximum points Thats the plan, if you take off the kill switch, these things will go down to like 3rpm (or so it sounds) so with two of them doing 3rpm, with straight pipes, I think they will sound pretty good. I will make the crank link thing adjustable, and then play around with them till they sound the best, like I said up there ^ "will play with firing set up for optimum chur soundingness, im thinking while ones on the exhaust stroke, have the other on the compression stroke/firing for max lumpyness?" = BANG BANG ..................... BANG BANG .................... BANG BANG ............... and so on. Anyone know if theres some kind of calculation on how to work out carb/jet size for a certain displacement of engine? like a general rule or anything? Aint gonna be no race motor, but I dont want it to be a total cunt. Have found cheap new ones on trademe but dude says they are for "50/70/100/125cc motors" seems like a wide range for the same carb to do? Have to wait a few weeks till I can get my hands on a lathe, so have got frame and wheels at work, so I can start on that.

The main reason I was going to go to one carb was so I can make a lush tank, and have it above the motor on the frame, and do away with the two std tanks. The std briggs carbs suck from the tank, so dont think you can just slap a fuel line on the pick up? would flood seeing as it has no float bowl wouldnt it? But like you say, getting the rite sized carb, and then jetting it will be a bit of a cunt. Mate of mine reckons/kinda makes sence that unless you have them firing at the same time you dont need a carb thats twice the size of one std one (I was going to add the two engines CC's together and then try find a carb from an engine of that cc?) as they wont both be sucking shit in at the same time? Is that true, OR do you still need twice the air/fuel to run them no matter when they are firing? Am keen to get motor running, will play with firing set up for optimum chur soundingness, im thinking while ones on the exhaust stroke, have the other on the compression stroke/firing for max lumpyness?

Heres some of the crap ive amassed to make this bad boy outta, First up, my lawn mower "Colonel Brigg's" kindly donated his engine: I have two other motors, ones a runner, found it at the dump on a hoe, the others out of a scrap bin, was full of water, and had a few bits missing. The two motors I plan to link, I hope to get them this close together: Drilled out the spot welds on one of the starters, so I can leave the cooling shroud on, and have a hole to link the cranks: The rims I plan to use: Belt drive tensioner: The steel frame I may use parts of/mud guards/sprung seat: Wanna get the motor going and then make the bike frame to fit. Have to do a bit of research on the motors as I want to make up a manifold and run one carb for both motors, off a motorbike or summin, if anyone out there is a B&S motor expert, any info or advice would be great.

I got the complete manual in PDF format, but I have no idea how to post it/get it to you?

I have been slowly collecting parts for this wee project for about a year, and after seeing CDL's Brigg'sMX project it kinda motovated me to make a start on it. I plan on making a half assed 1900/1920's style motorcycle out of bike parts, powered by a basic home made parallel twin engine, which is going to be a pair of modified 2hp B&S horizontal shaft motors side by side and joined at the crank. I will most likely make the frame from scratch, from some tiny exhaust tube I have laying about. It will be hard tail, and I hope to make some sort of cantilever suspension for the front. I will post up some pics tonight of what I have/plan to do. The style im going for is kinda a mix of these:

yes 65hp!!?? Fuck me sideways.

I know nothing about 3sge's, so will post a pretty pic:

Was well happy with how seat turned out, got it done for free even! I never noticed how crap speedo cable guide looked till you mentioned it, now it bugs me, haha. Dunno how I could make it look chur-er tho? In other news, I sorted out a few other issues, the front left indicator would stop working now and then, which aint good on a bike, gets you run over. Spent ages checking shit, was a cunt as you had to move the loom a certain way to get it to stop working, but after much pissing around I found the broken wire, see below for blured up cell ph pic: Got that all fixed up, then moved onto getting the indicator indicator on the dash working, as its easy to leave blinkers on. Turned out that the indicator warning light was also the low oil level light, so when I removed the oil tank, I broke the circut, so made up a lil jumper cable, slaped that in, and covered it with piss loads of tape, and bang, sorted.
