Does anyone know the 4 hole pattern of the hf auger? I bought one last week
and it appears to be 7.5 centimeters hole center to hole center, the kits I've found
seem to want a 70.7mm four-hole engine mounting bolt pattern plus a 76mm
clutch rotor have not taken the transmission off because i would not know how to measure the clutch incase its an odd ball and wont fit the kits.......Thank you


P.S BMP recommends this engine as compatible but they are not taking orders.


I am building a 2 stroke landmark but this is for a 24 huffy cranbrook
 
Call Dax before you order. There are at least 2 sizes of clutch bell offered, for the little Japanese engines, and pocketbikes, etc.
 
I took the handle with the squeeze throttle, kill switch etc and the gear drive off the auger and I was wondering what do with the red and black wires now that they are unplugged? I am assuming the kill switch on the throttle from dax will wire up but does it need both wires if not what to do ...Thanks
 
Thanks but is there any color on the kill switch to match the red and black of the auger
engine? is there anything else I do to the red and black wire like ground it to frame or anything or do I just connect both to kill switch wires ?Thanks rohmell
 
rohmell you have mounted the auger before. heres whats happening with me
I put the threaded studs into the auger. to mount on the friction drive but some threaded all the way down no bottoming out very loose fit in thread I hope there is nothing that they hit going so far in.. I want to change hardware from the all thread to bolts are the 4 holes just threaded or do they interfere with other parts if they were too deep also are threads 6mm,,Thank you
 
I appreciate all the help you've given rohmell I do have the Dax studs and I want bolts so
the spacers in the dax kit are 3/4 inch what does the 1.00 mean in the bolt size? because
the dax bracket takes up some and then I would probably want to go at least 3/8ths deep into the engine holes..Thank you
 
Just a tad off topic........do any of you guys currently use a thatsdax friction drive kit? If so-could you post a couple pics of how you mounted the motor to the F.D. unit?

I'm interested in a couple of close up pics of the motor/F.D. interface.

Thanks :-)

Thanks.......for some reason, I keep breaking clutch springs with my thatsdax friction drive unit. The only thing i see different then from what I am doing is that you are using two washers and i am only using one. It will run for about 20 minutes and then I will hear a spring break.

Any ideas why this is happening? (sorry about hijacking the thread)
 
I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean when you say "adjust my engine to friction drive channel spacing"? I've tried adjusting the spacing with washers so that a small amount of the centrifugal clutch was outside of the clutch drum and I've tried it with the clutch almost touching the inner surface of the clutch bellhousing.

Either way, I break clutch springs. I do agree with your replacing the stock bolts as they aren't very good quality......I snapped all 4 mounting bolts starting up the motor.

I pulled on the starter cord and the motor broke right off of the FD unit. Never had anything like that ever happen before.
 
I went to Ace hardware and bought 4 -6mm x1.00 x 35 recommended by romell
and used the 3/4 spacers Dax includes, I then added the 2 flat washers to the
spacer to create the 7/8 space, that once again rohmell recommended and it seems to work just fine......I am using the HF auger 52cc motor it's a monster for torque..What's your engine?
 
Right now I am running one of thatdaxs's 4 stroke motors. Lots of torque way down low in the power range just how I like it :-)
 
Oh.......maybe I had the spacing wrong?

Right now I am running a Staton FD unit......next time I put my Dax unit on my spare bike I will make sure I am at 7/8 with the spacers and washers.

Where would I purchase Honda springs? I have been getting springs from thatsdax......thank you *very* much for your assistance.
