Hello, just wanted to say hi. A coworker just gave me a manco quester 3 wheeler and I’m going to get it back running. It’s absolutely trash. Lol. Any I’m new to 3 wheelers but just got really interested recently. Hope to learn a lot about them here.

Oh I love em, they are for people with a lot of common sense [emoji12]. Lol. I’ve been riding them for 7 years and I’m now 49. They are a blast! So welcome to the club[emoji3526]

Welcome.

The good thing about your Manco is it uses very common parts, not manufacturer specific parts like Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha, etc.

In a word, industrial.

Other than the bodywork, most parts you can find from companies like Grainger, and even the local hardware store.https://www.grainger.com/content/general-catalog

The best part is the engine, because you can easily replace it with something like a new, inexpensive one from Harbor Freight. It would probably be an upgrade too, yours likely still having a side valve engine.

Here's a YouTube video of someone who put a newer engine in. It's just one example. There are others.

Thanks guys. That you tube video looks like what I want to do. If I want to start a thread about that where would I post it? I have questions about the torque converter configuration that he is using. It looks like he was able to put his driven pulls right on the jack shaft and eliminate one section of chain.
