I was at my friend's house, fatdaddy, and he showed me this motor someone gave him.

Now it looks like a front rack friction type but i couldn't identify manufacturer, or if it was actually meant for bicycles? scratg

Any info will be great.

Its all there, it has a roller for a friction drive

All you gotta do is figure out how to mount it to a bike, figure out fuel tank, fix the spark cap, and run it.

We found that it has good compression and spark, wire shocked me lol
It's my friends, I'm gonna meddle with it one of these days I go over.

At this point I'm more interested we're it comes from and getting it running

Well, it looks like a front mount friction driver. Are there any identifying marks at all on it? Any patent nos. that could be hunted down?

It also loks like the engine is lengthways on to the bike, and there's a 90 degree drive to the roller. There can't be many made like that.
