After riding today. We went to ladysmith motorsports.
And right at the door was a brand new pw50 with training wheels on it. Only 1200 bucks
So I bought it training wheels and all



Just kidding
I asked how much they wanted for just the training wheels 210 DOLLARS !
I'm just gunna keep keeping my eye out for a used dolly or just the tires/pressure washer tires and make a set.

I got home cleaned our bikes. And tinkered with Haileys bike for a bit.
It's running great. Rides great. But won't idle long...
It will idle for I'm guessing 30-45 seconds then die. I can listen to it and give it a rev here and there to keep it alive. But hailey won't know to do that yet.

Any ideas ?

Thanks

Dave

Did you pass anything through the slow jet when you cleaned the carb? I (carefully) use a single wire from a wire brush. If it's partially clogged, it'll struggle to idle without the choke.

Do you have a design in mind for the training wheels? Are you gonna mount them to the rear triangle like a bicycle, or outboard of the pegs, like outriggers?

Did not run wire through the jet. Looks like I'll be opening carb up again

I'm thinking outboard of the pegs

Let us know if you have a design in mind, or if you find pics. Perhaps I have some parts laying around that I could contribute.

No update here. But my brother brought my a kick start he took off of a parts scooter

This one resembles the factory one really well. And should work much much better. As the one it has on it now try's to fold in all the time

I brought the pw to work today to let my brother take home so he can tinker with it a bit
We fired it up at lunch and had some fun with it lol



I got the kick start on it to 100 times better. Looks better feels better



A friend of mine also tracked down some wheels for training wheels
These are exactly what I was looking for will work out great
My brother has these with him aswell. Maybe he will make them for me lol

Those split rims might have bushings that can be swapped for bearings, which are cheap at Princess.

The 'new' kick start lever looks good. You are making good progress on the training wheels.

Small update for haileys bike.
My brother picked up an axle and new tires from princess auto the other day.
I'll get pics shortly. Tires he got are a lot nicer and seem more suited for the task

I also ordered hailey a couple Christmas presents for her bike

And

I've been struggling with a length of wire as the choke cable for long enough.
And I'm hoping starting fresh with a new carb will help getting it run better

I was pleased to find PA on the Island, the last time I was there. It's a bonus that it's next to Capital Iron.

A new carb will hopefully make it run like new.

I've still never been to the PA lol

Here are the new wheels
They were on sale for 4.99 ea.



Here is one next to haileys bike for size comparison



Outside diameter is very similar to what I had before. But these seem less bouncy. And price was right
My brother also picked up an axle. No pic it's just a 5foot length of 5/8" solid stock

Part of the deal was. He wanted the other tires I had. And he gets to keep the off cut of the axle

Also ordered a proper fuel valve for the bike
Price was right. And I don't like the inline one that's on it now

Like my comment about the first set of wheels you had, you can separate the split rims and remove the bushings. New sealed bearings are cheap at PA, which will keep these wheels rolling for a long time.
