Well, i recently bought 2 if these honda engines. I bought them because well, at 10$ a piece i couldn't resist!
one has a pretty big crack in the case. So ill be keeping that one (cant justify selling it, as i dont want to disappoint my customers by selling half ass products) so jb weld might be all i need!
But if i just add a normal clutch to it, i think ill be able to fit it on a bike normally and ill just use a rope start. These things are about as wide as a torque converter so no recoil start for me. (As I dont think wide cranks will clear it with the recoil start) only problem i see with this is the clutch will probably get a really light spring as the PTO rpm is only 600. And most clutches need atleast 1500 to engage.
Here are some pictures of the one im keeping.
But i figured itll be a good experiment. Might be a viable option as ive seen knock offs on ebay for about 150$ new.
Will be keeping the governor in this engine as i might want to convert it to a 3/4in shaft and use it on my pressure washer if the bike build fails
