Newbie MB'r wants to share awesome deal on Tanaka 33cc engines!

Hi Guys,

I have enjoyed reading all of the posts here and lurking for many months, I finally decided to pull the trigger on some GEBE kits and use the little Tanaka 33's. Here is what I lucked up on yesterday! Unbelievable deal! My two are on the way with UPS tracking numbers from Tennessee!


I bought two of them yesterday, Tanaka 33cc engines for $99.00 each shipped! I followed up with the Essex group and confirmed the deal! They got over 100 of them in an "Overstock" deal and are liquidating them. Here is the Amazon Link to the little motors that regularly go for over $300 !

Enjoy!

Where can you get a clutch outer part with a gear or pulley for this motor?

Here's my home-made throttle control till I get that lever. will check mail again today.
This works but isn't the most comfortable without gloves on. Good feedback on throttle position though, and fits anywhere with a zip tie.

I Like It !!
 
I bought another one! My wife likes it so much I am putting it on her bike. I don't know where the $89 Tanaka guy gets his supply but when it dries up that's probably the end of that.

Glad you liked my throttle grip. Perhaps you can find something besides tape to put on the wire. 1/4 hose was too big. Maybe a smaller fuel hose like for weedeaters would work. The cable housing is too stiff, already tried it.

If you use a standard brake lever as a throttle control, you can use my cable pull device as an intermediate throttle control, so you can make hand signals or rest or get a drink with the other hand.
