I managed to get the tank soldered, didn't take much and went fairly quick. My little forge it pretty hot for this job, like a little too hot. The copper, I had to tin it several times to even go at all.. Oxidized very quickly... I got it cleaned and pressure tested... Checked out seemingly...

And Brian is east coaster... Me.. it would be a real deal trying to get even a Litre let alone a gallon..

Cotton or any other natural rope/cord, stuff as much as you con into the combustion chamber through the sparkplug hole... make sure its jammed in there good enough. crank against that.... An other Idea, is get a sprocket/ pulley or hub w/key that can fit the shaft, make a handle to attach to...

OH thats pretty funny..... Good times...

Bob, it would be nice... but.... look it up... The Syrup Cartel....(Its actually a true thing, and for the most part legal.) They would say....fugetaboutit.....

Here in Canada were kinda screwed for parts like this... Princess is about the only place we have..

Hello and welcome.. can you post a few of your setup???

Those are the wrong wheels intirety.. they are a driven wheel. They are meant for a cart or hand truck... They will not handle any applied power. You need to find a more common size 3/4" or 1"

Any bearing shop should have a 2 hole bearing for that... A biggest question is... IS that the axle you are using??? Redyrod isnt a good choice to be using for an axle... you need a key shaft??? Let see some more pics of your setup...

First of all... That looks like a typical cent clutch which has a bronze oilite bushing... that is supposed to be lubricated by oil.... Why oh why did some one add a grease nipple to the shaft...(I know the PO probably did) this is the reason why the smoke is occurring, as it has partly ruined...

First before you grenade the engine.... reset the throttle system the way it is stock or totally remove the gov inside and out... That way of bypassing the gov, will throw a rod soon enough.... Potentially through your head.... not good at all.... A jackshaft can be used to allow a different...

Kartorbust-Ahh good to know... I was referring to the expended gas picking it up.... But I get what your saying... Holy cow $.88/L /CAD... Thats fricken extreamly cheap for premium.... Here its equivalent to $5.14/gal CAD ($3.85/gal USD)

Kartorbust - Well... as you know... less work is always better... but If you have a space for it...you can always get rid of it later.... I reckon gas is somewhat cheap in you area????

Most bar stool's Ive seen like this, have wheelie bars. They alway lift when you crack the throttle on, so this helps to keep from ditching it every time... Well in a straight line that is.....Its high centered anyways...

You are kinda at the limit of the capabilities of the machine... you might be able to make a 60t fit... But you mostlikely will have almost zero clearance. At this point, youll need a jackshaft, or bigger tires to really change the ratio. Off hand, did you totally remove the gov(inside and...

Wow thats quite the ride... Im having the same problem with a new build I just finished. Very similar chain setup.... Provided the chain is aligned straight, the chain will derail when the top part is slapping about, usually on aplication of power in a non gradual way... We have a bottom idler...

I have one of those flow-n-go gas siphon pumps... was not too bad for refueling when in a confines of a small van(A job I worked at had a truck mount compressor, real pain to get at with a large Jerry can). I keep forgettin I have it.. but it does work good.... But why not a handier station to...

Hello and welcome... Id get whatever wheels/tires you can easilly afford... Both will be fine for this application....

I like the gas station... That's a cool idea.. I also like that gas cap... Buddy of mine on my tank soldering thread, he would like another as his is starting to crack and was sun damaged...
