[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2910284, member: 15054"] Genes mower service at 50th and rockwell will have clutches and throttle mechanism. Possibly other parts pretty good prices. Maybe a back wheel with sprocket..I know off I 35 toward the mile of cars (earth quake hit 631pm just now) There is a Honda dealer that has the wheels and tires.. I built my second one from gas pipe.. Used old 5 HP brigs engines and bypassed the governer and hooked throttle directly to the carb throttle butterfly. *I made a big tire one..10" fattie rear tires off a riding mower.. and a fat 8" on the front..It would stand up without a kick stand. Footpegs I made long from gas pipe also and if you get in a bind you can lay it sideways and drag the peg in the dirt to stop. Mine with 5HP would hit 47 MPH in a very short distance about 150 feet and you are at 40+ MPH With a cheap 22 dollar clutch. Not a hill climber .. but fun just the same. I usually had 300 in one when finished.. paying 95 for the engines when I could find a good one. Keep an eye on the oil level.. My boys burned up 2 from low oil. They were young .. about 12-14 and that was cheap learning for when they got real vehicles. IF YOU MAKE A FAST ONE. Do not let other kids ride it.. limit throttle opening for the boy until he gets the hang of it. Mine would go slow for the first 15 feet then hit the power like NITROUS.. a few adults froze up and started dragging their feet to slow it or get off.. Brutal power for a 5HP if you are not ready for it. I set the motorcycle twist throttle to shut the carb butterfly completely to shut off the air and kill the engine. So if you let off all the way it would die. That is a good thing,, but you need to have a brain to manipulate the throttle to keep it alive. Brainless riders do not need a toy like that anyway.
