Has anyone done an in-frame mount of the Ryobi 31cc trimmer engine? I see deacon has a friction-drive setup, but I'd prefer to mount mine in-frame. I haven't taken a close look at the engine yet, but are there any great difficulties with this?

There is a vid on u-tube where a guy did it. It takes a lot of gear reduction (belts, pulleys, etc) to turn you rear wheel at a usable speed, as the ltlle motor may turn 7000rpm. I think it is about 14:1 for a weedeater turning 26 in wheels about 30mph max. When cruising, it will be just as loud as it is if you are weed eating your yard.
A Briggs or Honda GX only turn 3600 rpm or so, requiring half the amount of gear reduction and they are much quieter.
Study it before you commit.
