Saw this at a junk yard and picked it up for free.
Good compression, bad gas. I'll clean it up and see how it runs.

I have the front body-shell, but some screws were missing so it was easier to transport in pieces.

An assortment of old web-sales links show the specs:
Number 1
Number 2
Number 3

Cool find, I bet it will run fine after getting cleaned up and a spark plug maybe.

I hope that a little cleaning and some oil on the chain (and air in the tires) is all it needs.

I've always been enamored of sidecar motorcycles and I loved every mile that I rode my Urals. I always wanted to go sidecar racing- but never had the tens-of-thousands-of-dollars that it would take.

Then I found this video on YouTube.
Of course, the racing pocket-hack is a $4-5,000 machine, not some $250 Chinese thing. Still, the dream survives...

Gosh! They must have been going nineteen, maybe twenty miles an hour.

It LIVES!

Last weekend finally re-wired the kill switch and mixed some gas.
I've been through the carb, tank, and petcock, checked the plug, adjusted the rear wheel angle, cleaned the chain, and aired the tires.

After a few pulls (say, 50?) of the cord it started answering with some bup-bup-bups. Then a full scream!
No space to ride it around home, so I took it to work for some parking lot tests.

Fun- but oh, man, my back was killing me after running around on it. LOL
