This thread RULES!!
Dawgs. I got a couple of questions.
I got this Chainsaw made in Japan so the engine is from Japan yo!
And it has a centrifugal clutch! Actually mounting this bad boy to my trike shouldn't pose a problem. With some solid angle iron,a good drill and a few grade 8 bolts and hardware it should align right on there with three mounting spots (both sides of the rather thin yet sturdy forks and the gooseneck so everything turns with the handlebar and maybe even the axle ends for added sturdiness)
So. First question. How would I mount a friction drive to the clutch housing?
The clutch housing says 3/8 on it. I guess that's an important bit of information. Are there OTHER clutch housings with the friction drive built in? Remember. I don't have a welder.
Here's my other question. This is my throttle "wire".
How can I get a throttle cable on that?
Thanks ahead guys!!
Oh I have a third question. What does it mean when it would only start with starter fluid? I'm guessing it's fuel starved.
Maybe with the temperment of this engine it may be beneficial if I simply do away with the clutch and pull starter and fix that bike peg on to the axle so I can do push starts no having to pull a rope. But what about when I want to stop?
Oh. That's 4 questions now.
