My buddy gave me this crazy bike. He got it from the original owner who bought it in 1969.

The gas tank has some rust in it so after three days evapo rust I needed to step up my game. Tumbling with ceramic media at 30 rpm.

Made a gas cap to replace the plastic one.

yea, that's what the Rokons are all about.

I’ve always wanted one of these, but they never seem to come up for sale in my area. They still build new ones.

Sceep · Dec 7, 2021

Do the wheels still hold fuel?

cj3a · Dec 7, 2021

The wheel tanks look in good shape and a nice size seat for woods ass.

I remember seeing one of these in a go kart shop in town when I was a little kid, thought it was the coolest thing in the world.

Awesome! Fuel in the wheels!? Crazy (obviously haven't seen one of these before). Is that just reserve fuel capacity?

Yes. If I recall correctly, they will also float from the air in the tires and you can wade a river and float it beside you.

I was reading they the paper work received with the bike and the fuel mix is 3/4 of a pint to 1 gal of gas. Manual says to use 30 to 40 sae oil. Judging by the carburetor it seems a little thick.

Holy shit. That’s 10:1 or something. That’s absolutely nuts.

Design hasn't really changed since 1958....

cj3a · Dec 13, 2021

The bike was bought in 1969 and the engine was popular for gokarts. Need to do some more research

I got it to pop off. Need to make a new shaft for the throttle or fix the old one.

cj3a · Dec 30, 2021

Got the front end back together. Only one break on this thing.

They didn't have all the whizz bang 2 stroke oils we have now when that engine was designed.

Back on this thing. Milling machine DRO took a crap and went down the rabbit hole of buying new and doing the install. How do you post a video from a phone? I keep getting no file extension

I must have one of the twenty gaskets flipped around because the carb leaks. It does not have a float but has a diagram. It is like a big chainsaw carb.

cj3a · Oct 1, 2022

This thing is kicking my ass. The carb butterfly shaft was cracked so I am making another one.
Not sure yet how to attach the throttle stop but that’s next.

I probably did it wrong.

I ain't the one to blame.
