Hi all,
I've been wanting to build a motorized cruiser for a few years now. Recently I acquired a small 2 stroke bicycle engine with what appears to be everything needed for an install including an install manual. The manual appears to be a joke, though. I have tinkered in the past so I feel confident I can get this to work.
I have an old Huffy Cranbrook that I am going to use as a platform. I have read a few post of people using this frame for their builds. They seem to like the outcome and I personally think they look great.
My first question; what is the best way to get the engine and rear sprocket aligned correctly? I have no tools to do this besides patience and a wrench. I would assume if the two aren't true the chain will get thrown. Any advice about this would be more than welcome. Heck, any advice period would be more than welcome.
