Thread for alternative engines

I mean this, when I am a little less busy, gonna try and get us all to design one. Then chip in and have it made. A not for profit thing but not like an existing and already mass produced engine could not be adapted.
Really, need a plate, possibly a clutch and 4 extra holes in the base and bammm, MB engine. Every thing else is already cheap and available.
Dang, now I am getting excited about doing it. I once got excited about having a bushing made and 20K later, I am really happy about it. It's still unfinished but hey. snicker......

I seen one in Farmshow mag. a few years back. It was a small culivator with weed eater type engine on it,they took off the tings and put a sprocket on there then to the drive wheel. If i remember right it was mounted on the front fork down to the wheel with chain sprocket,kind of chopper style................Curt

The little plastic tank is just ahead of the engine.
The engine/drive ticks most of the boxes I've been on about, as the engineering is better, the transmission brings the final drive rate to workable limits, and there's less chance of banging knees on the engine.

$180 kit, $300 shipping?!?!?
OUCH!
But very slick little motor. I've long wanted to see one of these up close.
Sachs used to have a very cool setup similar to this that really caught my eye.

The Spartamet is a complete kit. The drive shaft comes out of the engie/reduction drive with splines on it for that cast wheel to sit on.
If a person is happy at Spartamet speeds, it's actually quite a good cycle motor, and it's made from Real Metal by proper engineers.

How would you like to have to work on this! I guess you don't adjust the carb while it running. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...er_Gent's_Motor_Bicycle_-_1900-1901_-_015.jpg
