Default Re: How to Build a cheap friction drive bike

No clutch for the build. This will be another of the most basic builds. After I test ride it if the the motor does okay, I'm going to install a big gas tank of some kind. I learned on that small engine that running out of gas is a no no for soooooo many reasons.


As for the distance, I will go down now and try to get you a measurement. 2 7/16 definitely less than 2.5 inches.

On the carburetor is the top line the one that goes to the tank or is it the one that goes to bulb. I might have them setup backward. Which might account for my gas leak. The more I think about it the more I am leaning that way.

ps I went and checked I'm pretty sure I had them backwards. Now tomorrow when it dries out I can put in some more gas and start it again. Then continue the build.
