| | Re: Help!!!! magic man I just realized that we have hijacked this thread without offering to help magicman.
Your "motor bolts" are just studs, they can be unscrewed with a set of Vise Grips or a small pipe wrench. You can replace them with whatever you want, just remember that it's metric. Seeing as you don't want to drill your frame, why not raise the motor to clear the peddles and work out a front mount. There are many great ways to make front mounts. I like to drill two holes in that extra piece they give you and use a muffler clamp.
To be honest, the bike I now have, I installed the engine , mounted the little bracket at the front, it made contact with the frame and I mig welded it into place. |

| | Re: Help!!!! magic man Yea MM this 3 speed clutch thing woah what up with that scratch that otherwise looks like any other China engine.
There are infinite ways of getting it on there and without welding even. Sounds like your frame tubes may be a bit too thick. Search around this site and check out what others have done. You have a rather easy frame to motorize.
You'll get it.
To remove the engine studs for the mounts I use two nuts snug up to each other then when you turn both nuts the stud comes off with it. It's a 6mm stud. I replace it with a bolt more common to find at a hardware store and screw in an extra nut acts just like a stud. The adaptor kit says to drill your frame. You can do this but others have avoided drilling all together.

| | Re: Help!!!! magic man Hey thanks to all for the information on the clutch thing. The clutch I have that came with the kit looks like any reg clutch but this one says it's new.It has tiny clearview window on it that has 1,2and 3 on it like as if you were to shift gears or something when you squeeze the clutch lever it chances fro 1,2and 3 I don't understand it. I know how to hook it up to the motor thru the internet research But i just don't how this works .I think it works like a slipper clutch????? PLEASE help with more info. I am also haveing alot of trouble mounting the front motor mount to the frame of my bike. The motor i have is a dual start motor it can be started with pull start or by pedddling.But i had to move it up real high because my peddles were hitting the pullstart area that sticks out but all other stuff fits ok. I am fabercating something i hope that works i will give more up dates soon Thanks again for all the information I hope to have this thing fired up soon and rideing it I will let ya'll know how it's going. Please kep me infromed on the cultch thin thanks Magic man |

| | Re: Help!!!! magic man In order for there to be "gears" you would need a transmission and that is just not possible seeing as you have what I will call "a regular" motor just like the rest of us.
I'm pretty sure they sell wider cranks so that your peddles don't rub. Whatever works for you is fine, but try to remember that the carburetor should be as level as is possible.
Take it easy on that pull cord, I've read a lot of posts from users saying the cord ripped.
If it were me, I'd wait until trying the pullstart until I had the engine running well.
If anyone wants a good laugh go to that link in my other post above and go to that site. They have a "live help" window. Try to get info on this "3 speed clutch handle"....I think it's a machine or they did not want to answer anything. |
