Talking Newbie:

Just joined. I am retired from my daily job after 40 yrs. and own a small engine repair shop. I have built go-kary racing engines for years, both B&S and Honda's. I have just acquired a OCC Stingray, my Grandsons tell me that should motorize it. I though about a B&S will not work to tall or A GX160 Honda to wide. Maybe a 110cc. Seeing how this will be my first attempt at powering a bicycle I will have plenty of questions. Such as where to acquired the parts that I might need. Thank you for your time. Don B.

Welcome to the forum. You've come to the right place for answers and assistance. There are quite few do-it-yourself builders here who have installed all sorts of power plants on bikes. If you're interested in the larger, bulkier engines that will not lend themselves to an in-frame installation you might want to explore the rack mount; Where the engine is located over the rear wheel. Have fun and keep us posted on your build.
