Here are some more pictures of the mystery mini-bike, sorry @CNew just noticed I haven't taken a complete front view picture. No tools are required to separate the three parts, it has a spring loaded mechanism for the frame & the seat section just slides in. David

You can never be to careful.

The mity moe runs once again !!!

The carburetor operation is explained in detail in the manual; David

Hi, First of all, welcome all I live in Poland and rebuild the Westwood "baby" gazelle W8 - 1983. I need stickers. I wrote an e-mail from restorationdecals.co.uk, but I don't have any feedback. You don't know if the stickers are still available? Greetings Tomas

Those are both really cool!

Not sure either, but I've edited posts to fix broken web links before. I have all seven pictures from the ePay auction for this model, it doesn't look like a toy to me, more something a model engineer may have built, the copper parts are solid not tubes. If anyone was wondering it sold for $844. David

RC glow plugs use low voltage from a battery to heat the coil in the plug, not the high voltage from the magneto. It stopped raining long enough to take some earlier today, need to edit & upload them later, got to go out now. David

Put Farmers Boy in the search thing at the top, right corner of the page. You'll find topics there.

I think there's a thread somewhere about one of these. You may have to do a search.

Bill & Ben get their fuel tanks fitted now there nice and clean.

So far so good! The wheels I bought were fitted with needle roller bearings which I removed as the wheels needed to be fixed to the axle which provides the drive. With a centre diameter of 30mm and an axle diameter of 22mm I had to obtain some tubing to act as a bush. The O/D was just the right size but I had to ream out the I/D to fit over the axle shaft. Holes were then drilled to accept the cotter pins to secure them to the axle. Tomorrow, I’m going to weld the wheels to the tubing and continue finishing the wheelbarrow attachment.

Just stop the possibility of the bolts losing adjustment.
