Old school mini bike

[svtserpent]

This thing has been in our family for around 30 years I traded an old car stereo/tapedeck for it. That must have been around 1986 or 87. Then one weekend I needed some beer money so I sold it to my little brother for five bucks lol. That being said I think it may have been built in the 60's or 70's. Recently my Dad asked me what we wanted to do with that rusty old mini bike in his garage lol. So I threw it in the back of my truck and took it home. Here's some progress so far.




Had to order an old carb and hose it down with parts cleaner



And a new seat is on its way!

Check out Howards Outdoor on 9 and Ryan, their prices are cheaper than all of the online shops if you need any parts. I've bought everything for mine there. They have a website too, https://www.howardsoutdoor.com/
