Hi all,
So I have undertaken a bit of a project to say the least :biglaugh:
I bought 2 buggies from ebay. 1 small one and 1 er big one :p
The small one resembles a hammerhead (which was a 50cc) and the big one is a Sahara (Kinroad?) with a GY6 engine not sure engine size yet.
You will notice the GX200 engine on the back of the small one ;)
Here is the before pictures:
893
894
And here is the small one as it is now:
896
895
The Engine was completely seized so needed a complete tear down (and I removed the Governor at the same time).....
The springs had faded so resprayed them, the whole frame was powder coated white :p (Its for my 10 year old nephew)....
The clutch had rusted so I got a maxtorque clutch (and a new chain)...
The Engine needed realigning so had to re-drill the engine mounts....
The Seat had been chewed by a dog so a new one is on the way :)....
The Brake cable and throttle cable had snapped, so made 2 new cables....
The tyres had punctures so put innertubes inside them :S....
The petrol tank was in the way of the suspension travel, so moved it above....
That is only the small one. I am just embarking on the big one, and have only just worked out it is a GY6 engine. The ignition system and switch looks destroyed, so if anyone has any advice how to get her started with just a battery in the meantime that would help LOADS!!!!I thought I should also say hi as I have already looked at the wiring diagram someone posted, so I imagine I'll be on here a bit!
Hopefully see some of you around the forums :D
