@@leonardarola Yup, I just take my time and think it through and I seem to be able to do it.

@@beaubrummelmotorizedbicycles I understand. Just not my cup of tea, very frustrating sometimes.

@@solmonsteiner2838 I have a custom 5/8" keyed shaft, 5/8" bearings, 5/8" type " B" 10 tooth 415 chain inner sprocket, and a 5/8" mini hub sprocket adapter with a 36 tooth #35 chain sprocket with a Iris Gold Kart #35 racing chain and a 415 Regina Gold Motocross racing chain to the rear.

@@beaubrummelmotorizedbicycles how much

@@solmonsteiner2838 I bought everything about 2 years ago, I think it was $65 + about $15 shipping. I got everything from ombwarehouse.com I got the inner sprocket from staton-inc.com as they carry the 415 chain sprocket and the go kart supply sites only have 40/41 chain size.

I have a couple of videos where I show the jack shaft and explain how I put it together, also I think I even supply the parts and numbers. The advantage of my set up is when a sprocket wears out it can be changed (gear ratio) or replaced for less than $20. Phatmoto wants you to buy the complete kit for $70 when all you need is a sprocket, plus you cannot change gears from stock ratio, kind of a foolish set up. So I came up with my own, called mini bike style.

@@beaubrummelmotorizedbicycles could you send me the links?

36 tooth is kind of a high gear for the small Lifan 79 cc. 40 tooth probably would be better all around. I run a 44 tooth and it gives me pretty good take off with no pedaling and decent top end.

@@kaseygrumpykeller5867 Thanks Kasey, yeah back in the early days it was just a few of us old timers.

@@joepenguinptakk9224 No I did not. The aluminum wedge adapter I used was replaced with a cheaper, steel unit which is longer in length and doesn't fit. I do believe it can be notched to clear the seat post.

@@joepenguinptakk9224 The engine swap I did was over 3 years ago

@@beaubrummelmotorizedbicycles hmm. I saw a Predator 79cc engine on my local Offerup app for cheap and grabbed it, but mounting it has been an absolute nightmare. I can't find a small enough wedge mount anywhere that fits.

@@gta5grindzxb145 I use them all the time. For small parts, nuts & bolts, for soaking, very handy.

@@beaubrummelmotorizedbicycles same here.

Just a thought but bronze parts will not absorb oil they are meant to be a ware part so a drop of oil is all that's required for the bushing to ware properly. RIDE SAFE

@@willieshobbies Thanks for the opinion, only you need to research Oilite bushings, designed by the Chrysler Corp. in the late 20's early thirties. It is a special blend of bronze designed to be of a porous nature to absorb quite a bit of oil to be released as the bronze heats up.

The stock Lifan 152F-3 , 79 cc engine is very weak on torque and not really a good match for CVT. It makes for smoother operation but it won't shift to high gear, so you lose a few miles per hour on top end. A P79 cc or a Coleman 98 cc, or even the Lifan 154F, 105 cc is a better match.. Those engines produce enough torque to make it viable.

Everything's cool,

I didn't wait 24 hours

@@dandia7150 In my experience It will fail if the threads are not clean or you rush it and don't wait for the cure time.

I thought I would give you a shout out, since you have done the swap on the Phatmoto.

Temu, they go for $19 to $24 with the components. Wiring loom only about $7.

Yup.....

Mostly transport for say, camping trips, or long distance destinations where when I get there I would like to ride the electric or gas bike around. Or even shorter trips like to the Coast where I live. I'm only like 15 to 20 miles from the Pacific Ocean.

The seat can be bought as a "bobber" seat. It comes with a bracket and 2 coil springs, Mine has the extra solo shock and mounting bracket bought separate. Then you make a mounting plate for the solo shock to sit on. Or a guy sells a kit, seat, shock, plate for about $200 to $250. I have maybe $75 to $85 in mine.

Most of that shaking is called clutch chatter, is your bushing well oiled? Sometimes the combination of dry clutch "Oilite" bushing and maybe a grabbing dirty clutch causes major clutch chatter. Make sure the drum and shoes are clean with WD 40 and the bushing is well oiled.

A good combination is 2 yellow and 2 white. Some Phatmoto's come with that combo, but I've see all yellow also. Try and determine about when you want the engine to have full engagement of the clutch. It is all experimental, finding just the ones you like.

The stock carburetor I think has a 72 or a 74 jet in it, I think....

It is a very beneficial upgrade over stock muffler.

Do you need a stock replacement jack shaft or the one I upgraded too. Mine is a pieced together kit, you buy separate keyed 5/8" shaft and cut to fit, bearings to fit it, mini hub and #35 chain sprocket, 415 chain 10 tooth drive sprocket, and keeper collars.

That's a curious situation. Could be running lean. Do you still have the stock carburetor on, the EPA/smog. They really are finicky either they run lean or rich. With no air/fuel mixture screw to fine tune it.

@@beaubrummelmotorizedbicycles yea sir, everything is stock 2024, it runs great for about 40-50 min, but then cuts off, i think im going to be putting the pz19 carb....

With the Predator 79 cc I got to 34 mph. I did get some vibration between 15 to 20 mph, but then smoothed out.

It's normal and happens frequently with clutches. Mine do it. As the clutch wears in the housing moves a little making a chime sound. The housing is sometimes called the bell drum. Don't worry about it, it's common.

@@beaubrummelmotorizedbicycles thanks dude!

Me too ! It was always on my to do list. I just never got around to it. If I was one of those riders that used the bike as daily transportation or rode every day, I would have. Maybe I'll bump it up on my list. As you know Stan, from being a multiple bike owner you have to juggle the budget around to keep them all on the road. It is a "If it ain't broke, why fix it" thing. But upgraded forks are a #1 upgrade.

@@beaubrummelmotorizedbicycles well.. I'm breaking that rule. Was going to leave red rover running as much as I could. Decided to use it to make a pretty easy baby predator mount. That members could follow exact plans or.. I could just make them for them.. Used red rover because it has the stock jackshaft. Instead of just doing a few for myself with 'custom' jackshaft.

Good idea, and good idea on the stock JS@@Rambling_Rover

Hi, I got that one from Amazon on sale for $39 a couple of years ago. They have them on ebay also. I just bought one from Temu on sale for $25.They come with 2 coil springs which you can use, but I went with the single spring/shock and brackets. You then need to fabricate a plate to mount the spring to, so it can cost anywhere from $75 to over a $100 dollars to do it. There is a guy who sells a full installation kit with seat and shock and mounting plate for $250. But that is way to much money.

@beaubrummelmotorizedbicycles do they sell them cover for your phatmoto tourq converter cover? ,it's smooth, rather than ribbed with lines, was gonna put some sort of vynol sticker on mine!, see you have a small cross and bones! On yours!and could you tell me how wide it is? At the biggest round part? Of the cover

I use a light oil designed for bushings, like in electrical motors, etc. It is designed for anything that spins, it is heat resistant and comes in a pull out flexible spout to reach behind the clutch to oil the bushing at the snap ring. You can order it online. Zoom spout oiler, also Ace Hardware has it in stock. The clutch mfg's call for regular 30 weight oil.
