so, ive been running a 2 stroke that i bought from bikeberry, and its had been running fine until recently. so after much consideration, and debating with the wife, i decided its time i find myself a 4 stroke to use. (lets face it, pull start is easier than killing yourself trying to get the damn friction drive started on my 2S)
so, ive been shopping around locally, and have found a few options. BUT size, and adaptation has come into play.
Harbor Freight offers a small 4stroke that runs about 100 bucks.
- Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices
its small enough to use on my frame, (although im sure i would need a mounting plate or something)
but im worried about the crankset. i think its a bit too wide for what im putting it on.
BTW, I really, REALLY do NOT WANT to rack mount it since it raised the CG of the whole bike. lower is better in my case.
locally, i have found a few other options as well, but its still around the same size. I did manage to find an older briggs and stratton, and ive heard it run. it was just rebuilt.
Give me some info guys!
