well, let me just say i got a steal on facebook again!
2 ryobi trimmers for 35$
both run great and have a LOT of compression (they feel like my chainsaws lol)
now my plan was to make a "v twin" style bike engine but i quickly realized that would cost me wayy to much in machine work, and it woundnt fit the frame im using.
so im going to be selling one of them, and keeping the other for this project.
now, this can go 2 ways.
1. belt drive
2 friction drive
im considering frame mounted belt drive since it would look cool, and well, i already have a friction drive lol
im going to use a 20" bike rim (about 18" IRL), and a 3/4" pulley (should give me a gear ratio close to 24:1) this is if i can redesign the clutch to make it work for this application (ryoibi uses a stupid floating design, which i will fix by adding a screw support)
ill keep this thing updating! im going to need to get some money and some steel!
