Default Re: How to Build a cheap friction drive bike

Well on mine if you hook the lines up backwards the gas just runs out the bottom. I think I have it figured out now the intake is the bottom inlet and the return is the top one. At least that is the way the gas doesn't pour out and it does run.

I always let my jb cure over night if I can. It seems to work better and be stronger that way. It dries to the touch in a couple of hours but I don't trust it.

I'm still debating that 2x2 frame for the engine. Another reason I didn't rush into it. Now that the pull chord is off, I will have to wrap a string around the drive wheel to start it by hand. I might not even bother, just go right for the drag start.

Norman will the extra 6cc make any difference in the engine performance.
