I am new to the forum and probably did the worst thing first at my skill level by buying the cheapest kit I could, and had issues with Gasbike as both the throttle cable and clutch cable arrived broken and not usable. I had to pay for new ones and return the bad ones at my expense to get replacements. Anyway, Gasbike owes me five bucks. I have hung both bikes, Schwinn Sidewinder and WalMart Huffy cruiser on the wall and placed the engine on each. The front motor mount will fit neither as both the gear cables on the mountain bike run on top of the front downtube, otherwise it would work, and the Huffy tube is fat as can be and the mounting studs will not even go around it. I don't think the adapter flange is of any help, and I dread the thought of having to drill through the tube. But I have called out the Calvary and my friend is a great machinist and is coming to help. I looked and studied a lot of the engine and sproket posts and threads and will just have to wait on the help. The engine will be canted on either bike. Does the carbureator have to be completely level when finished? Do the head bolts need to be torqued and to what value? Does the fuel tank need the Kreen liner added as per the terrible Gasbike manual? Thanks to all. I really enjoy the forum.
