Solo Twin....FINALLY!!!

[DND 9000]

Hi Brad

The HL-185 C carb takes the RK-10HL repair kit. See also my file attached.

I am pretty sure the 10-HL is an old number, RK-88 is the current number for the complete kit for the HL carburetors, DG-6 is gaskets & diaphragms only.

Excellent. Thank you!

Someone needs to organize a GTG in IN/OH so we can get at least 4 twins in one location. If we wind them all up at the same time maybe we can shake the New Madrid fault loose again.

We had three runners and two participate in the demonstration in Baraboo, WI two weeks ago.

I broke the impulse nipple off when assembling the first Twin, so stole the one from the 110. Today I attempted to make a couple replacements. The steel one was made from a bolt and the brass one for a double ended brass hose barb. The original was brass. I'll assemble with red Loctite for a positive seal.

All new screws/bolts were ordered today...cheese heads.

I made an attempt at repairing my coil. I'm still holding out for a replacement.

Unfortunately, I didn't take any pics in progress. I stripped the plastic away from the wire and solder new wire to it. I then built up around it with JBWeld. Not pretty, but...

Any updates?

I sure do!

A bit of progress was made today. Randy put new rubber grips on both handles for me. Thank you Randy! I did one several years ask and that was no fun. I appreciate the help!

Meanwhile, the rest of the parts are being welded and/or powder coated. A few parts are even headed this way from the UK!

I appreciate all the help!!!

Finally, 6 years after this saga began, I have two almost complete Solo Twins. This last one is the 110cc version. I've had the parts back from Mike for years and just never got around to putting it together. All that I need to have both running is to either repair or replace the fuel tank. I've not yet finished the black and silver part of the logo either.

Nice work Brad, Sometimes these projects take time and life gets in the way. I have my Solo Twin
and i haven't even touch it. This will give me some inspiration. I like the work bench.

What did you use for the handle bar covering. Looks nice.

What a beauty!!

Rather than start a new thread, can someone give me a ball park price for a running solo Twin? Had a repair on the handle. I believe i may have under quoted after some reading. I do not want to start a bidding war. Thanks

It’s whatever the market will bear. I’ve paid as much as $2600 for the right saw. Paid $1500 recently for a 110cc. The best thing going for the one in the photo is that it appears to be in “original condition “. But having said that if the gas tank don’t leak I’d maybe go $1000 if all the parts were there.

I’m not familiar with that style of handle bar either. Looks to be a crafty aftermarket handle.

 

[jordanmills555]

Yeah its definitely had a repair in its life.
Thankyou the above information helps
