Jake Kuhn 1,554 #1 Posted August 31, 2013 Todays score! Got a late 55 rj35 for 60 bucks and a k91 for 40. The k91 has the correct throttle cables for a 35 which is the main reason I bought it. Has some nice tins too. The 35 was the best score though! It just needs a motor, belt guard, steering wheel and engine pulley. The gas tank looks pretty decent too! The drive system is rigged...I will have to tear into it today. They have a bolt going through the hub so there probably are not pauls but it does still work. The veri drive seems to be in good shape though. The wheels and tires look great too. Hope to have it going soon. Don't think i'm going to paint it. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jake Kuhn 1,554 #14 Posted September 2, 2013 Here's a update...its now running and driving. Still has lots of small things that need to be done to it. I got the k91 running and stuck it on for now. The gas tank turned out to be in really good shape...that is really lucky! I still need to hook up a throttle, get a belt guard on it. Tap the exaust and put a exaust on it, and it could use a little adjustment for the belt tension when I get a guard on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jake Kuhn 1,554 #16 Posted September 3, 2013 Do those thirty fives take the push button kill switch Jake? Only the early 55's. Everything else later just used the on/off toggle switches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
