hello, ive been reading throung these forums and designs for mini bikes and they all look hella complicated. so i was thinking of moddifying a small to medium kids bike and putting a 2 stroke victa engine in it. would this work

If you have the victa already you could make one of these using a friction drive spindle design:

Go the friction drive unless you are willing to put $200 into it. Is the carby metal (g3) or plastic (g4)? If it's the G4, get rid of it and you will have to replace it.
