Disassembling my “Bike Bug” Bicycle Motor for a Repair
In this video I will show you how to take apart a Tanaka “Bike Bug” / “TAS Spitz” / “Free Spirit” friction drive bicycle motor.
The main objective is removing the shift lever and frame mounting arms to reach the main engine and gear case. I am taking mine apart to reach the fuel pump for a repair.
So sit back and enjoy, and hope this video helps someone out there wrenching on their own!
