Hi. My name is Timo, and I live in finland. I have a Briggs & Stratton mower engine and I'm planning to put it on a bicycle. I'm not going to buy any kits or anything. I would like to put some kind of a clutch on it, but I don't know wich or how. I'm a begginer and I'd love to get some tips.
...Just introducin myself to the community.

Welcome to the forum. To put a briggs on bike with a clutch you'll probably need some kind jackshaft to get the ratio right. As far as a clutch a centrifugal clutch would be the easiest way to do it. Glad you joined us..................

Hello and greetings Timo, I'm fairly new here myself and am building my first with a bolt on kit motor.
My second bike I'll build like you are doing. Using a centrifugal clutch the way
Ilikeabikea describes.
Some of the others here and myself have posted photos and information about the Cuban home built bikes called "Raquimbili" (Spanish) that you'll want to look at. We're trying to get the word out all around the world about the Raquimbili
machines. When you look at them you'll understand and see some possible ways to rig your bike.
You're lucky to have an old Briggs & Stratton to work with.
Best wishes and good luck with your project. |

I think it's actually Riquimbili isn't it?
Welcome Timokkk. To put a mower engine on a bike...that'll be pretty fast I bet. I think I remember seeing someone on here that threw a mower motor onto a bike...
Here it is My first motorized bike attempt...5 or 6 HP LOL
