Default Re: Just bought 4 stroke Chinese frame mount kit

Since you don't have your directions let me suggest that the first thing I would do would be to work out the mounting problems.

If you are sitting at the bike with the handle bars on your left side, You want to mount your engine with the clutch lever on your side of the bike. That is also where your chain fits into the motor though you wont have it on yet.

Step one should probably to loosely hook the engine to the seat post. If you do that tell us, will the front mount reach your down rod on the handlebar side. if not how far out is it.. and if so can you fit the mount around the drop rod or is the rod too big for the mounting.

By the way my engine was supposed to have the big frame adapter but it didn't. Fortunately I had a bike with small tubes. I still toyed with mounting it to a larger bike frame. It only took me two days to decide which bike and how to attach the engine.
