Wal-Mart bike

Well, your bike Newbikers has a fairly acute angle at the cranks when compared to the majority of bicycle frames, which sets your entire motor fairly high up. That angle has the chain pass at points on the frame where it begins to taper back into the frame.
 
I think you've got a real nice build going. I like the clean look of the way the motor is mounted.

I'm soon to start my third build with a frame shaped similar to yours. I'm planning to find one of these offset intake manifolds to install on mine. I think you're going to need one too.

What size tire does your bike have? Is your problem with the tire rubing the chain?
 
This is the frame I'm fixing to start on.

The frame is 17" and the wheels are 26". I've been watching your build because your frame looks similar to mine. I know my carb won't fit in there either.

That offset intake is cool but i dont think it will fit the limited space i have

The one i made works perfect it's 100% airtight. no reason to replace it now.

The tires are 29 inch
the bike is huge

I haven't weighed it yet but its so heavy the kick stand DOES NOT hold the bike up anymore!

What I meant was how wide is the tire? What's it say on the side of the tire? Is that what your problem is, the tire rubs the chain?

I'm pretty sure that manifold will fit your bike. You should probably try to get one when you can, and just keep it handy in case you ever need it.

Also wanted to give an update that the chain DOES rub the chainstay on the bottom of the frame and the top

but with 1 chain roller included in the kit you can stop either 1 that you choose

So what i'm planning on doing is putting the roller on the top and slightly bending the chainstay out some on the bottom.

I had a problem with the chain rubbing on the lower fork of a Op Roller build I made.

This is how I solved the problem. If yours still rubs one of the tubes you might need to go to a smaller chain.

One thing you can do if your sprocket is dished as can be seen in biknut's photo is reverse the sprocket. Just be sure your chain clears the spokes though.
 
I trued my rag joint by using an old intertube cut and slide over the ends of the axle and then 2 vice grips clamped down and to chairs side by side with the wheel in the middle so i could spin it and look for wobble.

Where do you get the offset intakes? .xx.
 
Earlier in my article i said how the clutch was tight

Well it was so tight it was trying to snap the cable

apparently this is a common problem so i tried every method to fix it.

I lubed my cable with grease.
I adjusted the internal clutch spring. all the way out.
I adjusted the star nut inside the clutch cover.

The clutch is still so tight its not even funny
I'm not happy to say the least
