Frame Mounting the GX50

[Deleted Member 4613]

Has anyone found a way to mount the GX50 to the frame and used
a gearbox for it? This engine does not have mounting holes. Seems
like it would also have great potential for frame mount. It's a
super engine.

Pictures. We like pics, is the gx50 like the gx35 honda? Here is a honda gx35 I'm wanting to do something similar as you speak. I'm working on a mounting solution, but think will have to loose the fuel tank & use a gravity feed fuel tank.

I am not sure about the GX35 since I don't own one, but the GX 50
has no mounting holes. Connections are normally made by
using the clutch bolts directly for yard equipment, etc.

The GX50 must be a new honda item. My gx35 honda utilizes the clutch bell mounting bolt holes as well for mounting. I'm aware of the honda gxh50 but it's a 5/8" straight shaft.

The clutch bell holes are perfect for friction drive but not for frame mounting which
requires holes at the bottom of the engine. I did once see an "L" shaped mount
which uses the clutch bell holes. It could work for frame mounting. LIke this:

Helio sells honda gxh50 powered bicycles. From the pix, it looks like the motors mount very much like the Hua Sheng 49cc.

Of course, you know there is a big difference between the GX50
and the GXH 50. They are not the same engine.

Aw hell. I completely overlooked the prefix/series difference. My bad.

Yes, but it's 2 stroke. I'm trying to avoid 2 strokes. Looks like a great
engine though which could be frame mounted.
