PICTURE!!!!

Still can't get a video though.....son of a !!!!!

Oh yeah and it's like the ultimate green machine! ALL recycled parts, didn't cost me a cent, and it gets FREAKING WAY better gas milage than any car.

replace pedals with pegs.

nice. cant wait for a vid

 

[ineed2fly]

Pedals still work, it's kinda like a moped, so I could run this thing like up a really steep hill if I pedal with the motor going, or just cruise around with the engine, or if I run out of gas I can ride it home.

Did you have to weld to do this project?

 

[ineed2fly]

Yeah a little, welded up an engine mount, and then the metal tubes come off the frame and are welded to the mount. Maybe 30 mins of welding total.

SWEET, i found a moped in the garbage, i will post some pics later. That thing is sweet. BTW when you did your speed calculation on the first page, you did 3600 RPM, that motor is a 2 stroke, it most likly is more in the range of 7-8,000.

Neato, what brand is it?

THIS IS NOT FAIR AT ALL!!! You found a moped?! I wake up at like 6:00 every thursday and hunt, the best I can find is a lawnmower! DAMMIT! And if you say Puch, you die. I want one of those so bad!

On a side note, I need to switch over to chain drive, and I am keeping my eyes peeled for a chainsaw, has a clutch on it already, it will take some work, but I should be able to use it, then I can run chain drive, a tire a week habit is not a good thing.

Its a Honda PA50I so the slower of the 2 models of that year. It was sooo sweet how i got it, my buddy actually found it, then hes the kind of person that wants to buy a running thing than fix one thats non running and he asked if i wanted it. In my mind a JACKPOT sign lit up. ill post a thread and pics later. Im having trouble with the carb though.

www.hondaspree.net THE ONLY PLACE on the net for honda's 50cc line. Have a question, go over there and ask, great people.

thats fantasic thanks, i found out why my carb bowl kept going dry, it was out of gas , hahahahaha. runs like a champ now. no exhaust so it sounds like a wounded ape, but beefy.

 

[Kenny_McCormic]

Get an exhaust before running it, you can blow the motor running like that.

 

[Russ2251]

Being its a 2 cycle, lack of exhaust won't hurt but may affect mpg.

 

[Kenny_McCormic]

I have heard of cracked/melted pistons, but then there is a MAC 110 chainsaw that has had no muffler for 20 years and it has no sign of excess wear at the EX port.

ive put close to 60 miles on it.
