Summer 2008 contest!

Can I enter this one? I'm going to have Pipelyne build me a frame for my new motor.

I don't know what the rules are cruiser never said. I thought the project was junkyard but who knows.

Love St. Croix.....enjoy!

considering my skill level, my project will likely be a candidate for the junkyard when i'm done with it; does that count?

I'm calling out a Hybrid Electric Tandem Tall Bike with a Margarita Blender on the back right now. Nobody copy me or it's your ass!



Seriously.

The summer junk build off is ramping up!

I think the rules are as follows-
Build something out of whatever you got.
Have fun.
Gotta run when done.

The ebike is done but i pulled it apart to work on the weed wacker again. I needed the drive wheel made from an 8" scooter back wheel assembly. This is my best and I hope last try at a weed wacker.

Couple of interesting things.
1. I'm mounting a sprocket (when and if it arrives) onto the weed wacker engine. going to have it chain drive to turn the 8" wheel. Since there is a large sprocket on the 8" wheel, I have no idea what kind of speed I will get if any.

2. I finally figured out a clutch mechanism for the rear engine. It consists of my wife broom handle, (We won't mention that to her just yet) and a brake cable.

Im still working on the throttle. If and when the front (engine) sprocket arrives... I should be able to test it after only a couple of hours more work.

Talk about a long project it has been a mess i'm telling you lol. It has also kept me sane (or maybe insane) for months.

By the way there was some talk once about a two cycle running backwards, Well I can tell you with a fair amount of certainty that the craftsman weed eater will not run backwards. I tried to start it backwards with no luck at all. It did start right up when I pulled it the way it was designed so I guess it has to do with the spark timing.,

I think they were saying that our crude piston ported two stroke engines will run backwards. I know some model plane engines will, some won't.

ah I can't speak to that... In my search for alternate engines i have a question for you... Does anyone know how a leaf blower fan is hooked to the crank shaft of the two strokes it uses. Just in general.
