I have a 1932 Maytag washing machine that runs like a champ. Its a two stroke with a centrifical governer. The more load the more it fires. Its kick start. Its fun to run. I use the washer as a beer cooler at parties. I've read that some folks built mini bikes with this motor and I belive there was a small lawn tractor that used the Maytag as well. The motor is heavy and would be difficult to addapt to a bicycle.
