 Re: Deacon's Bike
No I switched the carb your engine had because it would die when I tried to rev it up. That seems to be a common problem when they need to be rebuilt. I cleaned it good and just stored it. This is the carb from the engine I distroyed. Your engine runs fine till I put a load on it. It won't drag start at all. I have no idea what that is about. It should drag start if it will start with the rope which it will do some of the time. When it does start it runs really well. I don't have a clue what is wrong. Tomorrow I'm going to pull out the last of my 31cc engines and give it a shot. Switch out parts just to see if I can drag start it.
It can be done I know because the one I screwed up started just fine that way. They might have been right on your engine low compression so why bother putting a good carb on it. It sounds like what a shop might think.
That is about what I think now, but I can use the part from it so don't worry. I bought it for the parts It was a bonus that I could make it run so easily. I am well satisfied if nothing else I am learning a lot about engines.
I have nothing but time on my hands anyway.
I have a really nice engine mount from it so I can just switch out engines anytime I want. I have learned a lot from all this. I have really nice drive wheel as well so I'm progressing just progressing slowly.,
Your engine might well have worked fine with the centrifical clutch and the trimmer head. I don't see any reason it wouldn't have. I'm beginning to think that maybe this isnt the best idea after all. I think it might really need a clutch of some kind to distribute load. I'm going to rethink that.
you know model planes and boats dont have the same load as a bicycle wheel. The motor should work of course the other one did but this one would be fine for some applications im sure.
maybe someone with more knowledge than me can give me an answer I sure could use it.
