To All,
Now that I've got your attention to read my post I, like everyone else on here, need some advice (or personal opinions ) on my first build. Before that hello to all! About me......215LBS, and looking to setup a friction bike with a 46CC McCulloch 4-18 MX chainsaw. Looking for good overall top speed with decent pull on hills.
My questions:
1. I want to use the centrifugal clutch so that I can idle. Besides the pricey aftermarket setups (straton, etc) what ideas have been used in the past for mounting a roller directly onto the clutch? A clutch bell?
2. I want to be able to idle at higher speeds, basically coast without having to shut off the engine. How can I do this without tearing up the clutch or worrying about internal engine problems?
3. If I leave the roller pressed into the tire at all times, like when I'm ridding the bike like normal, will it affect my engine even if it's not running? I guess I'm just looking for a permanent mount I don't have to adjust.
I have done some research but haven't found any answers that really "push me over the edge" in the direction I should go. Thanks for your time and any help / beatings for ignorance you throw my way!
