 Re: weed eater bike questions
Here are a couple if answers for you.
the ryobi 31cc weedwacker engine has a threaded shaft. The threads are 3/8 x 24 there is a bmx type axle foot peg that fits it perfectly. Makes a great drive wheel. It is already knurled as well. I bought a pyramid at the bike shop that has both 26 and 24 threaded ends. The 26 thread is a non cruiser type bike. The 24 is for cruiser bikes.
So here is where it stands. I have the engine started once with pour in the plug gas. Haven't tried the carb yet since I don't have the engine or the gas tank mounted. I'm waiting for the new wheel I bought to arrive.
I bought a big big push button kill switch since I am not going to bother with a lift cable after all. I think the kill and restart will work just as well. I have seen guys on u tube start them with a single turn of the wheel. I'll be able to hand start it to warm it up, then drag start it from then on. Might take a little getting used to but it should work just fine. |
