Wasn't sure where to post this, thought the DIY forum could use it?

looks like a weedwhacker, sounds like a weedwhacker....

Looks like a friction drive build!

I could re-scan it and re-post it so it's more clear of a photo. It's a simple pre runner to the bike bug or chicken power type of engine.

I like the uber-simple mount...wonder if it really worked?

Maybe only slightly better?

I lost my photo "manipulation" programs in the crash of this summer....

that is the simplest set up I've ever seen. But it doesn't take much to mount one of these little engines. Looks like a straight bar from handlebar to fork with some sort of adjustable mount from there to the engine. Simple and sweet.
