    I really started rethinking the Chinese eBay carburetor, especially since the throttle cable comes out straight up instead of curving forward like the original so I spent about two hours cleaning, rebuilding, & setting up the old carb. I used as many of the original bits as possible since...

    Airbox reservoir?

    Whats the purpose of the Twinstar 185 air box reservoir? Can we just remove it for our cafe project or do we need to make some adjustments for the bike to run right? Thanks in advance

    Made a latch at lunchtime to secure the fuel tank to the bike, planning on doing it with a couple springs.

    Yup, runs backwards. Awesome link to the minibike info, thanks. It looks like with these very small engines people attach an automotive alternator and keep their solar setups charged when it's cloudy.

    Re: 1978 Honda Twinstar CM185t: The Black Pearl

    Thanks Ninja I frgot to mention it's on a stand so its at full droop, no weight in the rear the pic. And these shocks aren't adjustable... so maybe just some new shocks a little longer will do. On another note, my son removed the airbox & battery box in preparation to relocate electrics so we...
