Im not really sure how the wood experiment worked out. The friction wheel turned just fine but frankly no matter what I did i could not get the bike fast enough to start the engine. I know what it is because the engine runs just fine when pull started. without a clutch of somekind it is impossible for me to get it up to speed. I probably could going downhill but I can't always expect that to happen,so I scrapped the idea for now.
