Hey evry1 i have heard around on the forum that its possible to start a friction drive
bike with a drill how is this possible
(I gotta BMX PEG as a drive wheel)
make easier controlled starts without flooding my engine I guess?

assuming you have a metal drive wheel, weld a nut on the end of it. just hook your drill up to it. You could also get fancy and make a pulley for you drill end and run a belt over the end of your drive wheel assuming you have a little left over. Also you could put a cut off extension for your sockets into the drill and put a large spark plug socket on the end and put it against the tire I suppose. In any case you need to block the tire off the ground.

Just my suggestions You don't need to turn it too fast and probably don't want to.
 
Not true, I am just the one who is retired and has time to look around here most.
 
Assuming your drill can spin fast enough, then yes.

On my chinagurl, a drill can't spin the shaft fast enough to get the bike to start.
