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. |
You're talking about the Chinese 2 stroke kits. Mine is a 4 stroke kit. I'm going to have to get the adjustable motor mount, no way around it. My Schwinn does have big tubes, especially the front one. But all the gallery pics I've seen of my kit on various bikes shows the adjustable mount. I was just sent the wrong motor mount. I'm working on getting the right one but I envision it costing me some bucks and many headaches dealing with shady suppliers. Already been thru **** with it. Can't proceed at all without that mount and the rest of the parts for the sprocket that are missing. It's not that I don't know how to install the stuff, it's a matter of not getting all the parts.
Here's my bike:
Here's a kit that looks like what I have except my motor mount doesn't have that adjustable piece to it with the ends that fit the curvature of the frame. What I got was the darker chrome piece you see in the middle of it all:
