Hard, eh? Cut a beer can in half and then weld it back together without burning through.

How about art? I made a lamp out of engine parts:



My new project is my 3rd scooter. Making the frame from scratch, using a bicycle front end as a starting point.

I know, I was joking.

That engine is way too small. It's barely adaquate for a scooter. You need a larger engine with much more torque (ie. 4 stroke in the 3-5 HP range).

The choice of engine will dictate that choice of clutch.

Why not electric?

i cant stand electric, charging batterys or anything like that

i need that gas engine theme

anyone know any tips on getting free/cheap engines?

i use to go to the back of sears to the mower repair area and they used to give me any engines that they could not start to me

i always got them to start
then sold them

now they wont give me anymore motors as they dont work on the motors in the building anymore.
they ship the engines out to get fixed

You can try checking the salvage yards, but horizontal crankshaft engines are hard to come by. eBay is an option if you are willing to pay shipping.

I've only found them through luck.
