need some help

[FFV8]

Good grief, that is a lot of monkey-motion to swap sides.

Why not run this hub:

With a single sprocket, spaced over like this:

Then run a rag joint, or a hub adapter. Put both chains on the same side. DAX even has rag sprockets to fit the T8F chain, which is a common pocket bike chain.

Keep the 5:1 gear, you will need it.

I need to avoid replacing the rear hub because i have a 20x4.25 wheel and finding/using a hub is a bit of a hassle/expense

also in general I am working with a budget.

i wish i could help. i ended up building a great gasbike for offroad. i also got a derbi bullet for 500 bucks. big bore kits and pipes i get 200 each plus free shipping it has 9hp-10hp at 70cc. its legal and i can test top speeds without seriously breaking laws.
msg me if u want.

 

[frank66]

15-25 hp is pretty standard for serious riders builds. i live in ontario and the laws dont allow much else. i love a good two stroke and i enjoy my scooter building so much the gasbikes seem prehistoric. the 9-10 hp i have now is just considered a torque setup.

 

[GoreWound]

how did you get them to let you have 70cc? or is your build legally a motorcycle?

 

[GoreWound]

quick question: anyone have any issues getting ahold of BlowByU? I fired off an email a couple of days ago for a shipping quote and have had nothing in reply yet. how normal is that?

right now I only really have two Canadian sellers to pick from for a Huasheng kit* BlowByU and Motorboy, the former hasn't replied to my email, and the latter sold me the two-stroke motor that died on me.

* BlowByU has a kit with a genuine honda GX50 but he wants almost a thousand dollars for it!

 

[frank66]

yea insurance is 30 a month. the bullet is bigger than most 50cc scooter like the yamaha. and it comes w a 17.5mm carb so you dont need to change the whole carb and airbox crap to install a 70cc kit.

A note for reference;

The average speed members of this site ride their motorbikes is 27mph.

 

[GoreWound]

A Huasheng 4G kit is currently in the mail.
I spoke with Motoroboy about the 2-stroke failure and asked if he could cut me a deal, and he did. seems like a real good dude, and he is by far the closest vendor to me of anything motor-bicycle related (I wish he would expand his inventory ) Should be here soon-ish.

You will like the 4 stroke...........Smoth................Curt

 

[GoreWound]

it is happening!

 

[curtisfox]

KOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL............Curt

 

[Trey]

Don't know which one to post in- this one won the coin toss.

It IS happening!

 

[GoreWound]

yeah, I've been updating the build thread, this one has sort of done it's job.

I feel like i should make a large text post about this though:
A huasheng 49cc fits in an OCC frame

that information is not out there enough.

that said the pedals wont fit as is, but when is that the case with a four stroke anyway.

 

[GoreWound]

may as well ask this question here.
is it possible to move the sprocket on the output shaft of the transmission?

 

[Trey]

It is.
I have done it with a washer to push it in-board. This was due to a chain alignment mistake that I made on one of my first builds. I believe that the proper adjustment should be made at the mount, if possible.

 

[GoreWound]

I need to move it further away from the end of the shaft (outboard?) I need to get the shaft machined don't I?

 

[Trey]

Gore, I apologize, was thinking you had a different set up...

 

[GoreWound]

it's cool, now I just gotta find the guy how got MY advice, and we can trade!

 

[Trey]

Because I'm kinda slow...

You are talking about moving the drive chain away from the tire right?
Is it for tire clearance, or for chain/gear alignment?

Can you file out the engine mount slots to allow for some side-to-side adjustment... safely?
