Angry grandpa-too in California sez Hi

Got my 70cc kit couple of weeks ago and installed on a ten speed Murry mountain Bike. I call it my "Narley Hybrid"

Got my left eye catarac removed this morning and am not seeing well yet, excuse the typos.

A lot of people are interested in the bike, could be more business for DAX coming soon.

Runs great but have a lot of metalic noise from the clutch. I put light moly grease on gear teeth but still got it. Clutch works great. The large gear seems loose. Any suggestions??

grandpa-too, 74 and going full speed ahead!!

Sometimes that gear will rub on the case a little and make it growl. Mine was fine but Norman had to take a dremmel tool and clearance his a little to keep it from rubbing. Oh and welcome to the forum. Lots of motorized bicycle enthusiasts here. Glad you joined us................................

Welcome to the forum... I get asked about my bike every time I go out on it. I keep expecting to see more of them on the streets here but never do. I think having to install the kit does it for them. Most folks are intimidated by it. My son in law still can't believe I did it.
