Harbor Freight sells a 1.5" Clear Water Pump with the 99cc Predator engine as the power source.

Does anyone know of one of these engines successfully being used as a bicycle motor? I only ask because I bought one to check out what the output shaft looks like. What I discovered was that the shaft has no keyway and is threaded on the outside. The hole in the shaft is also not threaded (but could be).
Is there a way to make this work? Is there a source for regular replacement crankshafts (for a reasonable amount of money)?
I would appreciate any input on the matter!
