Friction will work on any size wheel with no gearing problemsRight now the motor is set up with a drive wheel. I don't plan on using a gearbox or a jackshaft all of the ideas I'm working on drive directly from the motor to either friction, chain, or belt drive. The weedeater engine came with a clutch ( most of the better models do) which will all me to set it up this way.
Have you calculated your gearing for chain or belt drive?
GEBE belt drive works driving directly from a motor like yours
because the drive ring is about 17" in diameter and the clutch
sprocket is very small
What size chain sprockets do you plan on using?
