Fresh Start

[Carcher]

I have a Troy-Bilt weed trimmer four-stroke motor what are the early steps I need to take? build a platform on my bike? find a clutch?

I had a couple of those motors might be a little tricky to use because of the plastic casing I had one trimmer and an edger and I think the trimmers use direct cable drive best bet mount a peg to it and friction drive. They are pretty much disposable does it look like this? Honda gx35 or gx50 is a good choice

Best training is hands on experience. Time to get the hands dirty.

Friction drive kits are very easy to install, so long as the drive mounts to the front mount of the engine.
