I have this mini bike that has very little information that I can find on it it was completely apart when I got it I think I have most of the parts for it to put back on I would like to know what kind of bike it is who made it what year and so on so I can get parts for it . I know that the motor is a 5 HP Tecumseh I but I have looked and I can't find any info on the motor I looked under all the covers I need a carburetor for it and the only info I see on the carb that is on it now is the letters LME and the number 271 on one side and the number 50 on the opposite side of the carburetor I'd like to know how many cc's this bike is in order for me to know what carburetor to get for it and other parts how can I tell some say that people that knows what these bikes look like if I send a picture they could tell me what bike it is and the CC's and all that is that possible the bike was completely painted over so maybe their information was painted over but I can't find very little information about it if someone could help me out I would appreciate it

This is the mini bike and the 5 HP motor

Look very, very carefully on the shroud, either area closest to the spart plug, or on the up right side of the shroud. The older Tecumseh engines had their numbers stamped in these two places. Might need an old toothbrush and toothpaste to get through the corrosion.

you could also remove the shroud and look on the inside for the raised portion of the stamping to help you identify where the numbers are located.

I have a little more information on this mini thanks to some tips some nice people sent I found a number on the rope pull housing cover when I looked at it with a magnifying glass it looks like it is, ( 13029201590675080807 ) I am not absolutely sure that the last three zeros are zeros they could be a g or 6 or c it's hard to tell but would this tell me what kind of motor it is how many cc's it is if I try to look it up

I am having trouble trying to send pics of the mini bike it may take me a while but I get the pics on here please have patience with this old man I didn't have computer in high school and it took me a long time to learn how to do all this stuff but I'm getting there

First you have a Briggs and Stratton engine, not a Tecumseh built in 1975. Model number 130292-0159-06-75080807. Here is a website to help you find parts and part numbers.

Well now I am confused. First the Op posted he had a Walbro LME-50 that is mounted on it and now with the last number he has a tank mounted carburetor setup.

Upload the images to image hosting and reduce them to 600 x 600 dpi and they then will load here via a link.

It appears you engine parts from at two different engines.

I've got a feeling the tank rusted out and at some point, some one attempted to, or did, mount a regular carburetor to the engine directly.

I’m guessing this guy is so confused he’s not coming back.

I was digging that adjustable mixture carb needle. Manual chokes..... Those were the days.

It is a mini-bike that some 14 year old tinkered with to go as fast as he/she could. There is little chance it has original parts in it.

I have a question, what makes you say it's a Briggs & Stratton engine I was going to take the motor back off the bike and use paint remover and see i I can get paint off the bike and the motor the motor was also spray painted then maybe I can find Numbers on them

Please explain yourself, as we really have no clue what you have. A Briggs or Tecumseh engine? A Briggs carb on a Tecumseh engine? A Briggs gravity feed carb on an engine designed for a VacuJet or PulsaJet carb? What you have posted so far doesn’t make a lot of sense to a trained tech.

I have been looking at pictures of mini bikes and this one I have looks exactly like a 1971 Speedway

You are talking mini bikes, but we are talking engines, as that is what you gave us information on. We’ve received no information mini bikes, and your questions are about fuel delivery systems. Again I say “You’re not making any sense”.

The numbers you supplied match a briggs and stratton engine model number

I am trying to send a picture of the mini bike with the motor on it so everyone may have a better idea of what I am trying to find out but my phone on Google says the picture is too large so I am trying to get around that and get the pics on here

You know what you want. And we know how frustrating it can be trying to upload photos without the right application. What is making this thread harder for everyone is that you likely have an engine that is old and has been tampered with, perhaps many times. I remember the neighbor hood kids who swapped parts around on their minibikes hoping to go faster. The parts that are on it may not even be the parts that came with it. We can't control that, or the condition they are in. Lots of times on old engines some of us may have to spend more time looking for an old part than putting it on. A no sometimes doesn't mean someone doesn't want to help, it can mean, "No on that, but I wish we had an easy solution for you. We would if we could."

I’m on the north side of 70 myself, so I know that these things can get confusing. The other problem we have, besides miscommunication, is we are thousand miles apart and can’t see what you are talking about. Let’s start with a few simple questions and take your concerns one step at a time. Please answer these question and with that info we can make a decision as to how to proceed.
1. Do you want help with getting the mini bike going, the engine running or both? If it is both we need to decide which one to tackle first and put the other on the back burner until the first is solved.
2. How much mechanical experience do you have? We need to know this so our answers are not more confusing to you and we eliminate as much miscommunication as possible. You must answer our questions with short simple answers, don’t add information you think we need. At times like this more info than needed can make things confusing on both sides.
3. If you have other questions, add them at the very end of your reply only. Never answer a question with a question, unless you don’t understand the question. I know that this may take longer to resolve the problem, but it makes everything a lot easier.
4. If you have a grandchild or trusted friend to teach you how to down size your pictures it would be very helpful. Remember what we learned decades ago. “Asking a stupid question makes us look smarter than making a dumb mistake “. At our age patience is our friend.
