"America - Fuck yeah!" Yes, the puppets from that movie Team America said it best. Ignoring Donald Trump, a history of keeping slaves and the KKK and all the other negatives...there is some seriously...

Is an easy project. I made one from a weedwhacker engine last year. It was functional and worked...but it was nicknamed the "slowped"....

I'll have to figure out a nasty way to film and upload it, probably with my phone.

Okay, yeah/nah...won't be in a hurry to fit nitrous oxide to it...pretty fast alright, definitely not disappointed in its performance that's for sure.

This thing is a beast! Wants to run fast,...

My parts arrived from the U.S. today. Ebay rocks!

Anyway, just waiting on one last package, some fancy billet clamps, but for now two $0.02 cable ties will do just fine.

So as they...

Yes VC you're on to it, but at the cost of acceleration. Standard spindle size is 0.6", because of the extra power I'm hoping/banking on getting from my porting and other mods, I've gone to 0.75"...

It has a friction drive. Basically out of the motor, directly connected to the crank is what looks like the knurled handle of a socket wrench. The drive spindle is about 19mm in diameter and the...

I'm skipping a lot of the detail in this thread. Things take hours of time to make and involve countless steps in their production...but that would be tedious to read through. The motor alone has...

I had to make it clear the part where the deck bolts on, as I forgot about the...

Had a cool idea for a kickstand. The originals had a large two sided loop. Hard to explain, but irrelevant as I didn't have one anyway. So I welded this up:...

Red is faster Stu - it's a well known fact:)

Okay, things are happening fast with this one.

Here's a before pic of what I was dealing with:

Started the motor for the first time today. It roared into life with relative ease. I soon realised it was starving for air, so tore it down again looking for reasons why. Didn't take long to see...

Awesome! It completes me:D

I milled up this plate too. The rear fender was snapped of the frame, I could have replaced it like for like...but I had this idea in my head for something a little different....

Hmmm, I can see them. But I'm viewing it on a phone. Wonder what's going wrong?

Frame all finished. Found more stress cracks, drilled holes in the ends of the cracks (old trick, logic being that a crack will stop at a hole) then ground out a v into the crack and welded it all...

The frame I picked up didn't quite live up to the trademe description...but beggars can't be choosers. These aren't that easy to come across in NZ.

So rather than dwell on negatives, I welded up...

Knocking on 40yrs old...still 18 at heart:thumbsup:

You'll have to use your imagination a little at this stage.

But this pile of "parts" will...

Started off as an already high spec little engine at 22.5cc.

It's a hybrid, meaning the bottom end is a zenoah 230rc, the cylinder is a Chinese clone that's had the head machined off. The cylinder...

At high school there was kid who had an"American pie" moment with a Swedish exchange student...poor guy saw out his days at high school with the nickname "2-stroke"... sorry funny story that always...
