    The Arctic Cat has rear suspension, yours does not. It sure looks to me like the kind of mini-bikes we all saw as a kid, usually having a Briggs or Kohler engine.

    This has a 3 hp briggs. Looks real nice, I took the head off tonight and everything moves freely and I scraped off some residue and she is shining.

    As for the kawi, I took the head off of that and the rings are froze real bad. I have about an inch of PB Blaster on it and for the last 3 hours it hasnt moved. So I may be playing the waiting game for a while.

    That trike is rare, but I don't think the frame is "Kawasaki". I would definitely like to see that and the mud bug restored.

    One thing about those centrifi-clutched trikes and karts as well, they tend to flip easily (duh, it is a trike) when you throw it into a spin in the dirt and it bogs down, the clutch disengages then kicks in when you apply throttle. It seems to flip them quickly. I was at Pismo today and saw a wreck on a 'Nerf-dog" style on the beach. Dude broke his arm to where the bone stuck out ! That's the second person I've seen that happen to.

    I think I found out what it is, but noone has ever heard of it. http://www.3wheelerworldforums.com/s...ad.php?t=36580

    Oh and the engine on the trike was frozen solid but I got it freed up. The problems now are there is no spark and as the piston comes up its bringing dry grass with it. But until I can get parts for it, it is staying together.

    welp I did some work on the mini bike engine. I got some new points and she is sparking now so I should be able to get that goin this weekend. I took the engine off of the Phoenix trike (it was made by phoenix engineering inc.) and that has no spark so Im still left with taking off the flywheel and checking the points on that and hopefully that will be all it needs. And I did some checking on my mini bike engine and it was

    made: August 07, 1979 and has a
    displacement : 80 ci.

    The trike I have no idea how to even check the year and such since it is a Kawasaki.

    Theres a few good sites for parts, like gokartsupply.com and mfgsupply.com .. Fairly good prices aswell, And if you go with a centrifugal clutch, go with a comet or a max tourque, both are really durable.

    Thanks. Ive been looking for clutches with the sproket on them but with no luck. I think Ill get a max torque, kicks in at a lower rpm and is cheaper
