since i didnt have a proper sized bike(neither of the bikes i had oh well) that would allow installation of a 66/80 grubee in the diamond i ended up installing the engine under the seat on the top bar(the back is lower than the front so it has a tiny triangle) cant mount the tank obviously but i will probably buy a shelf kit and put it behind the seat/above the tire
got a mustard bottle as a improv gas tank for testing, it works pretty good, may have a problem as its not vented(ie, the engine has problems running at times) will try to fix with a pin***** hole in the bottom to vent it
or maybe i'll just get another bike entirely
ordered on friday, received on monday from uh...whatshisname... devrou on ebay, $160 shipped grubee gt-4 66 cc mfg in april 09
btw, even with clutch on, its hard to pedal(like, alot more work than just bike alone) will this clear up with time or do i need to adjust/lube anything specific?
also, when it starts it doesnt ALWAYS run, like, if you keep pedaling it'll sound like its running but not offer any actual power to the wheels(clutch im guessing) but when the clutch is removed, the engine doesnt keep running, its also like low rpms(it runs faster, atleast like 5k rpms by sound? and provides actual power when its actually started) removed the cable from the carb to move it around the frame a bit, hope i put it in right haha, throttle isnt the most responsive but it obviously is getting more gas although not really changing speed much(the engine just runs different) so it IS doing somthing when i pull the throttle
as for the choke, it runs when not choked at all and fully choked(although somewhere in the middle has the best chance at working) it starts with any clutch position as well, any advice?
so basically to summerise, its hard to pedal when clutched, rpms are too stable when throttle is pulled, and i have NO idea what to do with the choke
i'll get pics soon(i forgot to bring my camera with to transfer pics to pc)
edit: btw, at 16:1 ratio of semi synthetic 2 cycle oil, also it races when clutched(need to adjust idle im guessing)
also http://www.csgnetwork.com/oilfuelcalc.html is useful although im sure its been posted before
it accepts fractions of a gallon(ie, 0.52 gallons for a 2 liter bottle)
btw, want a laugh?
when i installed it at first, didnt hook up the kill switch
so i had to pull the spark plug(i shoulda pulled the blue/black wire huh? it discharged into my hand 3 or 4 times before i let go
