Should I put this old tecumseh 2 stroke on something?

I have an old ah600 1622M snowblower engine. I think it's roughly 85cc. Should I put it on something? I think it just needs a head gasket. Last time I took the head off the gasket ripped its like $1.44 for the gasket. It just has blue gasket maker under the head. I was thinking about a belt drive or maybe centrifugal clutch. Should I put it on a bike? I don't have a welder to make mounts or make a pipe.

That would make a fun build

Oliver motorized did a build with one of these and used the bikes gears and belt drive about 6 years ago. Tried selling this motor but no one wanted it. It's about 3hp.

I even fabricated a jackshaft plate for it out of some thick steel and drilled and tapped some 3 or 4mm holes for a cnc jackshaft used on the 79cc. And got a pulley for it. My goal was to use a motorized bike hand clutch and a tensioner. I had to add a spring on the carb and some other bits. I also repositioned the starter so the engine is basically positioned like a pit bike engine.

I wonder if that could make for a sweet CVT paired with a friction drive?

Do they make 5/8 ones?

I don't think so, but you can get sleeves

I haven't had much luck with friction drive I would want chain drive

All cool guys well I found out this engine uses a cast aluminum rod I thought it was strange since most 2 strokes except some weedwacker engines all use steel connecting rods.
