Bike Bug motors

If that has a diaphragm carb, the rubber/cloth diaphragm is probably shot. new ones are pretty cheap. Sears may even still carry them on line.

There's a guy in Texas that sells and repops parts for them. Check the web.

I have a NOS kit in the box for $400.

They're neat bikes. The ignition coil recently went out on mine and I had to replace it (thanks http://www.bikebug.net/). But now something else is wrong with it, and I'm not a motor guy so I'll have to take it to a mechanic. I rode it every where last summer. And when it was on my newer Schwinn Alloy cruiser it got kinda fast. I'd say around 20-25. Good luck with yours.

Good fun for $100.00.I have a front mounted engine on a bike not the same as you want .Mine is a chicken power Ohlsson and Rice.It pulls me from a full stop and does 30MPH.I mounted to a bike with 28 inch tires. Go for it Mike.

I have an original Bike Bug for sale. It's one owner from around 1978. Needs a little tlc, but it's basically all solid.
