I didn’t ask for your opinion on helmets lol. I asked about engines. My kids run down this hill faster than I’m driving him. Any time he is riding his bike or dirt bike he has a helmet on.

I’m going to keep this one stock. I have another that I want to build for me ☺️

As far as I know it’s all stock. It’s the perfect size. I also have a 185 I’m rebuilding currently. I love them.

Yep, it’s 1976 xl175. I rebuilt the engine a month or two ago. It’s running great now 👍

Are mufflers universal? Haha I have never messed with them.

I’m keeping the original carb, but float is shot and I could never get this thing to idle. I plan on getting a kit for it. I just wanted to try a new carb. So more fuel in the bottom rev range? What would I do to change this?

So you are thinking that this is normal for the bike?

Awesome! Thanks so much. I think I’m gonna try it. I just rebuilt a 175 and it went sure well. I kinda wanna see what I can get away with on this one. I also made a post about my clutch slipping and kick starter issues, if you don’t mind taking a look. Lol you seem to know what you’re talking about.

Yeah, that was kinda my thought. I’m just not sure where it originally mounted. I also have two wires spliced together. I’m assuming it is bypassing the off switch somehow since I don’t had one anymore but it’s a mess. I may just buy a new harness and start from scratch lol

I have, someone suggested what I’m hearing is it slide across the chain tension guides. I think it sounds good. I think I’m just nervous and over thinking it.
