Our Story
Welcome! Ever since I was gifted my first West Bend 510 by my friend Tim Womack, I've been entranced by the world of vintage 2 Stroke engines. Over the years, my collection and understanding of the West Bend lineup have grown exponentially. I've amassed a variety of West Bend, Chrysler, US Marine, US820, and USMP820 engines, ranging from 5.0 cubic-inch to the 8.2 cubic-inch, along with vintage parts to achieve even larger CC numbers.
Like all engines, these pieces of machinery have evolved over time, and it became my mission to carry forward the evolution of this slice of vintage Americana and go-kart racing history. By offering you the most current version of this classically designed 8.2ci 2-Cycle engine, I aim to blend vintage aesthetics with occasional artistic liberties.
I present to you a vintage design, built and upgraded with modern technology. I hope this fusion of classic design and contemporary tech serves as a testament to the timeless charm and enduring functionality of these engines. Welcome to the next chapter in the evolution of these vintage gems.
Passion and Pleasure combined
My passion for engines is equal to my passion for mini bikes. I was fortunate to become friends with Evan Ruble of Ruble Custom Fabrication, owner and designer of America's smallest production mini bike, the "RCF Micro Mini". Vintage West Bend 6.5ci engine from an "HOFFCO Chainsaw". After upgrading the internals to covert it to a WB700, I did what any grown kid would do... installed it on a mini bike.
