my son's mate bought same kit and asked me to fit it..lesson 1. throw instructions that came with it into fire/rubbish.. worse than useless.. watching several UA-cam vids on subject made job lot easier and clearer.. thankyou to the above channel especially,most helpful..
I built one of these. I bought a bicycle from Sears and then I bought an engine kit. If a person has normal mechanical skills, these are fun to put together. The big issue is aligning the chain.
That is brill my friend, the self tapping screws to keep the tank and the chain tensioner in place are great advice. It really is hard to beat that energy density for range on a tank. For the price that really is good value. My best my friend.
You are the reason why I got my bike together and kept my sanity. What are the odds that the first thing that I typed in UA-cam led me to your video with your exact motor(except for a couple of minor things)?
Great video 👍👍 I always laugh when I see people on the bikes and the engine kicks in😂😂. I'm almost finished building mine, of course my bike frame is over thick on the down bar and other places but good fun to build regardless. It's a great project for kids I think. Two questions: Once you install this, you are basically foregoing the cycle function of the bike ? ( It's still possible to cycle but just extra weight) Can you use it on the road/towns/cities in UK? I can't imagine Mr. Khan being a fan them on the streets of London.
@@jack499m Oh so you just need to tighten the clutch cable up more. That’s all. It’s supposed to disengage the motor from the wheel when you pull the lever
So my bike has a fat middle lower bar that couldn’t fit with the engine but I made it work. Ended up bending the bolts enough to let the engine somewhat fit in. Then I had the carburetor just not fitting at all no matter what I did but guess what I made it fit lol. Literally not a millimeters to spare. Not done yet but looking good so far
My dad gave me a bike with one of these. Its an old Schwinn stringray that looks like a chopper and is the size for a kid maybe around 12. Whoever put the kit on did an awful job. The engine is crooked, muffler blocks the pedals (lol) and not enough room for the air filter to fit fully onto the carb. Its also missing the lever mechanism that tensions the drive chain (forget the name) so i figure ill buy another kit and use the spare's for parts. Im gonna fix it up and find a kid to give it to who will have fun on it. All the fun for me is in fixing it up. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the upload, great job on the build! 👍 I'll be doing one of these kits in the very near future and have watched numerous videos on how to do it properly. Your vid is one of the few suggesting greasing the clutch mechanism and using the self tapping screws on the tank and tensioner. Im guessing the folks who haven't taken those steps are the ones who have issues and leave the negative feedback. 🤔🙄 How's the engine been holding up for you, still working good after a couple of years?

These 80cc two stroke engines should be capable of mor than 25mph I had a 70cc Piaggio NRG tuned up had every upgrade available and that done 70-75mph I know these engines are basic but there's no weight to these bikes so with the correct jetting of the carb and decent expansion chamber exhaust it should be pretty fast
Probably a long shot but I built my all together and for some reason I can’t pedal, I can with an extreme amount of force but if you push it by hand the chain tights and the wheel locks any suggestions on what could be wrong? And can it still be used as a normal bike?
The one and only random screw that I have left over in the bag of nuts , washers , and lock washers is too big , so it won't fit in the screw hole where your tightening the clutch cable ?
Hey! thanks for this video much needed can't wait to build my own! only question I have is How in the world do you brake. I must have missed the part where you re installed the brake cables? Please help🙃
My kit came with a bunch of different coloured wires that all had different connections on them. So even once you figured out which wires went where you still couldnt connect them?
I get how to attach the chain guard at the top where the screw is long ! But you didn't show how to attach the chain guard at the bottom by the sprocket ?
Question: I have a motor on order? Do you think one could be started by spinning the rear wheel manually and engaging the clutch so I could remove the pedals?
@@RobertlDavis-sp3rv it's an awkward way to start it since you would have to push the bike quite fast, and these engines can be hard to start as well. I think you can get pull start systems for these engines though, might be better. But really, I don't see why you would need to remove the pedals.

I purchased this exact one recently and the instructions are close to useless. There are pictures but it’s difficult to see and the wording is a bit confusing. I recommend having one of these videos pulled up while you follow the instructions.
I have a question can I put the engine kit on a bike with gears? Because the wheel has the extra gears and the handle bars have the gears so that’s just something I’m really confused by
There are some upgrades like a bigger head and a bigger filter for the for the carburetor but I suggest not getting the filter for the carburetor it makes it run not so good
I got mine it's running awesome once I got the chain right I wound up getting a new chain tensioner that hooks on to where the clutch plate goes it's awesome made life so much easier
Not sure what I've done wrong but the HT lead won't fit onto the spark plug terminal cap as it's too large. If I remove the terminal nut then it's too small and the HT lead has wiggle room. Please help! Thanks

Nice kit, but the paint makes it crap! It chips and holds heat. Same kit unpainted on Ebay cheaper and better hardware.
When you hold the clutch is it suppose to disengage from the rear wheel allowing it to move free? Mine is not doing that at all
yes
i’m having the same problem. did you find a fix?

A scooter engine, is way more efficient and is better quality, this is a garbage cheap Chinese engine, no wonder it only goes 25mph
That’s nothing really compared to my 66cc motorised bike doing 40.1mph on a flat bone stock
So what did you do with the white cable ?? And how do you turn it on with the button???
just a quick one how does it brake because I don't see any brakes is it the clutch???
Probably a long shot but I built my all together and for some reason I can’t pedal, I can with an extreme amount of force but if you push it by hand the chain tights and the wheel locks any suggestions on what could be wrong? And can it still be used as a normal bike?
you probably need to tighten the clutch cable enough, I had the same problem
Hi, do you need a battery to be able to use the white wire ?
@@bensvidsandpics yes battery
@ ok thanks
This helped a lot I appreciate it

He just used the brakes that where originally on the bike
That is a good question that is what I was thinking because he only have front brake
Unless the engine have a self brake system I don't know
@NicNadu05 but only front brake on the bike no back brake
You hit the clutch on a coast break.
My kit came with a bunch of different coloured wires that all had different connections on them. So even once you figured out which wires went where you still couldnt connect them?
Can you drill for the killswitch again but with a longer drill bit
I am fitting the cable to the carb is to long how do I make it smaller
This looks like so much fun
I get how to attach the chain guard at the top where the screw is long ! But you didn't show how to attach the chain guard at the bottom by the sprocket ?
Zip tie the chain guard to the frame of the bike
Where does this part go? It is the single dark metal bolt with threads on the inside of one side and a bolt end on the other side?
It's a tool for specific purposes

Nope you'd be riding an unregistered motorcycle. Get an ebike if you want something illegal that you can get away with riding.
Hey I’m wondering if I can get away with 31cm? Or was it measured 34 precisely?
you only need 4 cable ties for the sprocket
What type of gas
16:1 petrol to 2 stroke motor oil
How many mph can u go i might buy one
30mph once broken in about 35-40mph with some after market parts you can make it a bit faster. Also depends on tyres put slicks on
What oil to fuel ratio?
16 to 1
Is it legal in the UK.
If your on private land or get registered mot tax insurance. Then you can ride “legally”
Jesus loves you

wrong orientation of rear sprocket other than everything is nice
