Default Re: Picture of Quenton's new proto-type

I think my system is simple, I imagined the belt drive to keep the noise down. The chain for the final drive to make it non slipping. So the drive must be attached to the motor platform. I do know that your system is simple. It could have a clutch on the engine but that makes a lot of noise unless it is belt driven, that has a hard time with the belt pressure tension. Are you using the engine slots for the initial chain or belt adj? If that is a brace for the mount then you were concerned with the drive pulling the mount out of alignment! I built a belt-chain drive like I am describing. You pull the clutch handle in and it takes an idler wheel off the drive belt, it is under the system to stay out of the torque. It works well and still gives you the feeling of a real clutch. Have fun, Dave

PS: You can see the cable that goes to the handlebar lever. Made this 12 years ago. I will restore this Bonanza minibike someday.
