This is my Diesel powered street legal minibike. The frame is much larger than a standard minibike frame.
The company who made it designed them to be adult sized. I used the smallest version of a Chinese made Yanmar
clone that came with 40watt lighting coil and electric start. Transmission is handled by a 20 series Comet torque converter
with one of the driver unit springs removed to help it to shift up sooner thus taking advantage of the low-end torque that a diesel puts out.
Top speed is 40mph. 4.80X8'' wheels, minibike brakes with Chevy water pump pulleys for brake drums. 165 U.S. MPG.
