jockey, I have a beat to death Rupp Blackwidow that does the same thing. The pull rope feels like the engine has no spark plug but it always starts and blows perfect blue smoke rings when blipping the throttle

[ I vote 1949 Model K Deluxe.  Only built for a couple of months.  Did the bike come with wheels?  I also think that is original paint.  Check out the picture below of a Model K I used to own that looks like the same color.

BTW, I resized the photos for you.

Thanks....whats pictured is what I got(rear luggage rack isnt in the pics)...no wheels, no engine, no drive

I dont have any plans to make it a resto....what I have in mine for it though destroy it from 1 day being a resto candidate if ever that may occur. It will be a haff breed, cross bread, inbread, mish mash, mutt of things....but plans are to do it tastefully and eye appealing...so it looks good and is usable as a nice rider. I'll get right on it once the 3 Cushmans in pieces are completed

thanx!

I picked this up many years ago and have not done a thing to it but make a mental plan for it's completion.
paint...I cant tell if original...if not it is very old and the bike was stripped of any original color

gas tank..chromed

luggage rack(not in pics) tubular type with V shaped mounting that comes up from underneath

no serial # that I can find...I did read posts on this site then go check

Hey all....I just found this site this morning. I'm sure I've met/some many of you @ Portland in the past. I'm the "oh the Rupp minibike guy" always on the north end of the fairgrounds. I thought I'd register and hopefully get info on what my frame/tank/fork actually is.....from what I have read through so far and compared....I'm guessing 48-49....I'll post some pics under the other category.
