Brings back memories. I had one in the mid 70s that looked about the same but hard frame. I bought it for $5 with bad motor. I bent the frame open with a bumper jack and crammed in an 8 HP Briggs and Stratton motor off a busted water pump. Used a centrifugal clutch that was not meant for a mini bike as it locked up into 0 slip at 900 RPM or so. The bike would go into warp speed and well past critical wobble stage unless you were careful. The motor stuck so far out to one side that it would fall over unless you were holding it and the spark plug was right next to your leg I zapped myself a few times before I added a block of wood to rest my leg on. I sometimes wonder why I am still alive.
