You could do it IF you found a spot on the head that would allow you to drill a hole and tap it for the valves threads. Would I do it? No. |
With a front freewheel whatever ratio makes it "easier" for the engine to spin really fast and have lots of torque, i.e. tiny engine sprocket driving a much larger sprocket - will make it much harder to pedal start for the operator - it's the same direction as the engine - just now the rider has tall gears to fight against (but the engine will turn over at higher RPM!!).
I'm for sure not going to do it unless I find a bolt on head. I just won't be running the ultra granny ratio that often. This is not a problem with the standard jackshaft ratio or the highspeed ratio.
