1969 rupp

[J smith]

Hi everyone I need some help I just purchased a 1969 Rupp mini bike and was told that it was a 69 ( 6" wheel ) roadster. It has the blue frame, 5 hp motor and lights. The part that has me unsure is the sprocket on the rear wheel is on the left side? It has frame brackets for a jack shaft but the jack shaft is missing? The motor is way to the right and with the clutch sprocket turned toward the motor it almost lines up? No chain is on the bike. I thought all 69 rupps had jack shafts and drove off the right rear? Please help answer this. Thanks

you are correct, it should have a jackshaft and the motor will be to the right on the frame. Motor hangs off the frame approx. 4.- 4 1/2 in., should be a dual sprocket clutch on the 5hp motor. That would be a Roadster. If you don't mind me asking what did you have to give for it?
