Yeah 77 years, but can still fog a mirror most mornings.
It's apparent that there is a lot experience in this group and I'm hoping to take advantage of it. I've spent a lot of time putting things together. Motorcycles, boats, ATV's, even a from scratch air plane. Have an electric powered tadpole trike,but as I get older, a better hill climber sounds desirable.
So I've gathered a 50cc Honda,a 4-G drive, and am trying to decide which bike to mount the machinery on. Have a mountain bike, an almost new aluminum frame Trek, and an old steel framed Schwinn. Now that I have it, I have some questions about the 4-G drive. Primarily why the Honda crankshaft which is 15.8mm in diameter has some how become 5/8 of an inch. That causes the fit between clutch rotor and crankshaft to have .003 inches of play. Centrifugal clutch rotors should fit the crankshaft better than a fall on-fall off fit. Solutions and or comment
would be appreciated. Even if it's a "don't worry about it"
