For the past 4 years I have past this thing every day on my school bus. Today I stopped in because I saw a little trike which appeared to be a 70 or 90cc. So I stopped in and checked it out but it turned out that it was a kid's toy with a plastic engine, but it was about the size for a 10 year old or so (any idea on worth? maybe ill pick that up too). So when I found out that it was only a toy I remembered the trike over the little hill I see every day. I asked him about it and he said it was a 1 speed three wheeler. Intrigued by the idea it might be a Scramber I asked to see it. So we walked over to it and it was in rough shape.
(P.S. I found out later it is a 4 stroke)
It hadent been run in four years so the motor was seized up, the throttle was seized, and the brakes were shot. I bent down to look at the rear and it has like a 50 tooth rear sproket on it. And the guy said when he ran it he needed to really wind it out to go up hills. LOL with a sproket that big he shouldnt have had a problem but he then said it had a 8hp kawasaki engine on it, so then I could understand the lack of power. Anyway I was looking around it and I found either a mud bug or a scout. The guy said he had one of each and they both had the seats, but we could only find the one. The seat said scout so thats what I'm going by.
I'm picking the both of these up for $150. But I have some Questions.
1. What is this Kawasaki if it is one? I looked at the picture pages and it looks like a 200 klt.
2. I never heard of a 1 speed kawasaki so it definatly isnt the original motor right?
3. Is the sproket supposed to be that big!?!?
4. The rear brake petal looked almost like the foot peg. Is it supposed to be round?
5. There is also a little bike there with a 3 h.p. briggs and stratton on it. It looks like a honda trail 50. Should I also scoop that up along with the other mud bug?
Thanks for any info guys.
