I have the same engine and I stopped cause the carb needs a kit and I'm too cheap to buy one the engine is new and the carb dried out and the diphram is stiff. I had it mounted on the recumbent. I started out with a 7/8 shaft and that was too small in dia. I think about 1" or 1 1/4" might be the way to go but I lost interest in my build so its rusting on the back porch.

I know about the cooling shroud but I need the thing to hold the pull starter. I want to pull start it to warm it up then use the kill switch and drag start to run it up and down the road. I put a four inch hose clamp on to hold it to the mount. Went across the butt connection. This thing has no head lol.
Also I plan to use a door spring all the way across the engine, to hold it in place a little as well as keep it in contact with the wheel.
I found that a bmx axle peg works perfect to screw onto the shaft. If it is too small, I'm going to co with an engine mount rubber block Somehow I'll make it work. From the ones on u tube the peg should be fast enough for me.
