I bought "49cc" fric-drive kit from LEB,(BGF) which is in fact an HF(monster pts.)
52 auger engine. I love this kit. It's a little pricey, but these engines appear to
very well made, and so far perfomance is amazin'.(* important info not in the box:
Break-in mix 16 to 1 on 1st gallon, 25/30 to 1 after. You can download the
manual from Harbor Freight.)
If your just buying the engine it's $119 without a tank. The thing is, I got
a complete kit, mount+ hrdwre, tank, twist throttle & grips, clutch bell, and a
cogged 1.25" drive roller, $187, free shipping. It's gone up to $219, but still well
worth it. The cool thing about the cogged drive roller, it actually works better
with knobby tires. I think it performs better in all cases, wet or dry, than the
diamond checked roller with less compression on the tire.(hence less friction)
And no I don't work for Rick Shi.

Wait til he gets it on a bike; I' upgraded mine with a 19mm Walbro performance
carb .& air filter. Hang on to your hat ,dude. Despite the HF specs, they make
2.5 hp outa the box, I've tweeked mine up to at least 3.5 and a couple extra
grand on the top end.
