I had a 2 stroke moped back in the 80s and it was a ton of fun. Lately, with gas so expensive and Santa Fe being so small, and the weather usually being sunny it seemed like a great excuse to get another one.
I had been talking about it for a couple weeks when my wife surprised me with an 80cc 2 stroke kit. (We have about 5 different bicycles in the garage that haven't been used much since my daughter was born 4 years ago and we all got a little fat. So, it seemed better to turn a bike into a moped rather than get some old moped or some outrageously overpriced new one.)
Hopefully, this will get me out on the bike more and I'll end up pedaling at least some of the time. That's another reason I wanted to mount it on an 18 speed mountain bike.
So far the installation has gone well, even though I've had to customize the bike frame a bit (with a bfh). All these new bike frames are too large! Even this steel one. Don't the bikes come from China too? What's up with that?
Anyway, my wiring is different from that described in the instructions (plus a possible clutch issue) so I searched and ended up here. Though, searching the forum I don't see anything like my issues.
I hope nobody freaks out when I post my questions here in a sec.
