Sometime? Now all the video pressure is on you. Looks like Terry beat my land speed record so I'll get the bike tuned for the street and give it another go this weekend

Hi All, This is my 1st post as I am new to this forum & hope the knowledge within will provide answers to my ?'s. A friend who grew up in California recently gave me this Toby Cart he used as a kid. It was produced by the Halicki company in Gardena California, sometime in the 60's. The motor is an Ohlsson & Rice, J II .85, the carb, & gas tank are missing so I am on the hunt for both. I have gone thru the motor & all is good to go! This is meant as a display piece so there is no panic or urgency to grab parts. You won't catch me or anyone I care for trying it out! Would the carb be the same as the J I & J III? if so what source if any? where could I get a steel tank? There is not much info available about "Toby Cart" on the internet period. This is what I've researched so far & hope I have it correct. Toby Halicki moved to California when he was 15 & started pumping gas, within 2 years he owned his own body shop & eventually ended up with his own wrecking yard, he started building hot rods & custom cars, fixing wrecks etc, he took real estate classes & ended up buying commercial properties, later he was tapped to do stunt driving in movies & eventually caught the acting bug. He took acting class & ending up writing a script (1974) to a movie titled "Gone in 60 Seconds". The movie was not that successful in N America but Europe loved it & he made millions. Unfortunately Toby died while filming Gone in 60 #2 (1989) on location in Buffalo, a stunt went wrong & he was hurt by a downed telephone pole. An avid collector, Toby also owned one of the worlds largest toy & automobile collections. Thanks for looking & feel free to correct or add info. Sincerely, Don M Ont Canada

I got a $20 sees he won't do it

Another mini-bike for everyone to add to their want/search lists. I found the Holder Micro Cycle on another forum a while back, it uses the O&R Series 20A engine and the gas tank is part of the bike frame. https://www.oldminibikes.com/forum/index.php?threads/holder-micro-cycle-parts-or-info.80630/ https://www.oldminibikes.com/forum/index.php?threads/holder-micro-cycle.50824/ The 4 page magazine article from "Mini Bike Guide" November 1971 gives the incorrect spelling of Olsen & Rice instead of Ohlsson & Rice; https://oldminibikes.com/forum/index.php?media/holder-micro-cycle-november-1971-test-report.112533/ https://www.oldminibikes.com/forum/index.php?threads/holder-micro-cycle.82912/ David

I wonder why I thought of Mad Max and Hannibal Lecter when I saw that grill.
