Most weed whackers aren't particular about their orientation. If you're going to park it indoors, you'll probably want to put something under it to catch the gas and oil that escapes.

very creative outer ( left side bearing) hmmmm....wheels are turning here..!
thanks. :D
I agree with Van.... your carb will be ok.
 
is it possible to put a clutch on a weed wacker? I got a ryobi Weed wacker engine on my new bike and it sucks coz wen u stop the engine stops then u gotta pedal hard to start again. is there anyway of changing that? Check out my build pics, click on my name, go to posts then it will be in there.

Triangulate that angle iron motor mount so another angle iron is going vertical. Then mount engine with spark plug up.

Win!
 
chain saw engine cog

using a chain saw engine doyou have to change the chain saw cog for the bike chain?

if not does it have to be a certain cog?

u will probally have to change the crankshaft. Better yet get a weed wacker with a clutch that is the same size and brand name so you will not have to change your engine mounts. could u post more pics up close details of your engine mounts i really like it
