a fellow subscriber contacted me about this fold up engine powered scooter that was sitting in a garage for over 40 years, he got it when buying a 2 wheel tractor, the owner was cleaning out and offered it to him, he in turn offered it to us to see if we can bring it back to life. lets see how it goes and why it was put away in the 1st place.

    The number of air cooled engines I cleaned mouse debris from is like literally everyone I ever worked on. Even the engines that do not have mouse debris still have air stopping debris that has to be cleaned out. This is the most important thing for an air cooled engine, PERIOD !!!!
    I like this engine since it has the special alternator built right in the flywheel with two small coils right next to the ignition coil. The Clinton engines are just bullet proof, rich oil mix, clean air filter, straight dinosaure gas and you are ready to ROLL.

    Dude I had one of these back in the early 80s! It would only go about 20 mph but it sure beat walking. After awhile the cops kept giving me a hard time for riding it, but it had open exhaust so it could of been neighbors complaining too. Great video, brought back a good memory! Thanks

    Love the CVT and spring-loaded pulley mechanic of this thing. The CVT confused me at first as it had no counterpart, until you showed how the pulley moves haha
