Hey nice , im in my 50s and short one car , so im using a 2.3 l craftsman chainsaw too in an old 26 inch bike i found at the local scrapyard. I used the rotary gear changer from another bike i found in the alley and kept the brakes. I used a flat screen tv swivel stand and the spring from an old floor jack. I had to get a new carb cause I mixed water by accident with the fuel and damaged the carb. I also had to get a new 6 feet brake cable for thr throttle. I had an old stainless water bottle and converted it to my gas tank. Tried it yesterday and it started after a couple of pulls . The friction wheel is to big and once i got it running it bogged out and stalled.so more adjustments to go. Nice job by your side , take care
@@RED-qj6pi thank you , just this week i finished the engaging lever on the left side and added a bubble to draw gas in . I got to get a rear wheel cause the one i have has a bad bump or bent rim . Thank you for the 👍
good idea to use built-in friction clutch! but how it doesn't go out from engine? I tested with shaft (even "glued") and on high RPM it "fires" out ~1m far from the engine! :-))))
You can try to weld it, unless you are planning to remove it, or just make little welds so that if you want to open it, just take a dremel tool and cut it
I like porcupines and used hoofa loofas

I like how you used the seat post bolt hole and the wheel bolt hole to mount the motor , clever
GOOD JOB! & VERY INVENTIVE!
REBEL BAT Dave Thanks!

How fast was it
Depends if you have the right tools and time. Friction is Easier and quicker
