Post a pic, inspectorcritic. It will be lot easier to help you. If the Tecumseh motor is too big to be street legal in CO, you may be better off spending your money elsewhere.
The TC300 is a 49.2 cc 2 stroke.
Here is the engine manual:

There were a few kits made to mount that engine on a bicycle. Post pics of what you have.

You got it 49 but the part by the shaft is missing anf I don't understand how a vertical shaft is going to turn a drive wheel horzontal and the shaft is a 5 inch ,5/16 bolt how is the linkage sit up for a friction propulsion and where can i buy parts and where is there a diagram so know what to order?
Thanks for any help.
Thanks for any help.
It's a 2 stroke. It doesn't care if it's a vertical or horizontal shaft. It'll still run.
Need some pictures of this thing!

Only if its a diaphragm carb and not a float carb,float carb has to be level ..........Curt
I am so dense on this issue I don't believe it I turm the motor over fits horizontal all I need is the driver assembly been finding them on the roadside all my life never knew what they were chuck them I need to get s url to upload a image or is there some other icon. Is there a part store for friction parts you can recommend?

It is a diaphragm carb!
The most important thing is lubrication. A lot of guys try side mounting a vertical drive lawnmower engine and burn it out quickly because it doesn't lubricate that way. You can do that with some modifications, but it's beyond most people's reach. The carb can be easily turned if it were a float type.
