It all started when I was 10. I had always wanted a motorcycle that I could ride. My dad and I went to the Yamaha dealership looking for a dirt bike. The catch was I had to pay for it. I had about 300 dollars. My dad was telling me that when he was little he had a minibike. We saw an add for Pep Boys auto and they had a minibike for sale for 250 dollars. When we got there they showed us how it worked and we bought it.
When I got home I was riding it and it seemed to go pretty quick. After a while it got really boring. My neighbor and I made a trade, my old electric scooter for an engine twice as powerful. The engine is a five horsepower Tecumseh off of an old snow blower. So I took off the old engine and sold it. He gave me the engine and it needed a pull start, muffler, and a clutch. After we got the engine on we needed to modify the chain. We pulled two links off and then we put the chain back on. Once we put the chain on, we were able to run it. The engine doesn’t run as it was expected to. We took it to a guy that fixes motors. We will get it back in one week and it should run good.
Update: We got the minibike back and now it runs perfectly. The guy that fixed it said that he got it up to 30 miles an hour and a side street.
