I have a ryobi 31cc 2 stroke weed eater engine (I actually have 2) and want to put one on my 21 speed mountian bike. I would like the have a idler pulley chain drive but am probably going to go with a friction drive.
I just have a few questions about friction drive.
I'm planning to use a bike peg for the roller, does it need to be covered in rubber?
Could I bump start the engine ? (push bike until starts) It has quite a bit of compression.
Where do I get small pulleys and sprockets? the ryobi has about a 3/8" shaft, where could I get a pulley. Autozone, O'reilly?
Here is an interesting idea that I thought of.
Have a geared bike, use the existing 21 speed gears to get more speed (if I us a chain drive) Just take of the pedals and add a sprocket to the engine.
The bike has suspension so I doubt that I can fit the engine in the frame to make it look "cool".
I hope that most of you can answer my question about the pulleys and sprockets. Thats the one I need.
