Here we go again...!

[uncle_punk13]

Hi All,
Today I will be receiving my (vintage) brand new, never used, still in box, with original purchase receipt, Tanaka Tas/ Bike Bug engine kit. I honestly have lamented getting rid of the first one I had, Though it went to a good home and the horse trade was awesome, I wanted another. I have two incomplete parts engines I was occasionally working at piecing together, but now I have spare parts! This engine will go on the same bike my first Tanaka engine kit was on- a 1966 Schwinn Typhoon Deluxe (unfortunately I will have to remove the front Clam-shell rack again, but oh well...), with a Bendix two speed red band automatic rear coaster.

Slowly over time the museum collection progresses... LOL!!!
Have fun, and ride 'till you fall out.
