ANOTHER Motorized bike..

[crazycart]

I would...but that's a huge PITA.

do you have the starter for it? or is that not a ring gear i see?

 

[crazycart]

This model had a goofy starter..similar to a johnson 9.5 marine engine (idk if your familiar with that or not) and i don't have it. It does have a ring gear.

 

[Kaptain Krunch]

Dont know what to tell you then, rope around the flywheel seems easiest right now (sadly).

 

[crazycart]

I think if i found a fairly small tire/wheel (lawnmower size) and adapted that to the crank it would make it easier for the engine to be spun over. Maybe less low-end, but i think the engine will have enough get up and go.

If russ can power a go kart with one, you can power a bike. With like a 6" lawnmower tire, and your 26" (?) bike tire you would still get around 4:1 reduction which will be fast as ****, but you should have plenty of power. You could also just put millions of little tack welds on that spindle for traction.

Wheres the cooling tin?

 

[crazycart]

Don't need it son! Free air is the new liquid cooled!

I put a plastic hand grip from a twist throttle onto the shaft. It works well. Now i just need a carb that works...

 

[Kenny_McCormic]

I suppose if its jetted right it wont be a problem. I though you had piles of carbs in your barn o stuff you got for free?

 

[crazycart]

I wouldn't say piles...i need a diaphragm tillotson, and the one i have is junk. The majority of the carbs i have are bowl mikuni's.

Why do you need a diaphragm carb? cant you just make an adapter of some sorts and use a mikuni?

 

[crazycart]

Easier to just get a diaphragm carb. Should be more durable if layed down.

 

[crazycart]

RUSS! please post.....What carb did you recommend for these again? Can you tell me anything about the engine? THANKS!

I saw that Russ was on just the other day. He changed his under name thing too.
