heh, the wooly beast is a Persian cat, been my buddy/shadow for about 11 years now.
So, here the update about the friction drive kit:
I mounted the kit/engine on the bike today, first time. But the clutch drum won't seem to 'coast'. It's in drive upon cranking, and stalls out when I hit the brake. So, I'll try some longer spacers tomorrow, between the engine and the engine channel, maybe that'll work. ANY ADVICE on that would be greatly appreciated! Otherwise, we'll see what happens tomorrow with the longer spacers.

The drive roller, w/out the knurl, seems to grab very well so far.

Here's some more pics. (in my previous pics, I had an orange 2 stroke. But I won a TLE43 on Ebay, came in last week, and used it to test out the kit. Runs good)
