Well, here are some "build" pics.
Day 1:
Contents of the mysterious package:
Time to start. I'm sure my roommates were less than enthused that the living room of our apartment looked like this for a week and a half:
Engine mounted:
Clutch installed:
Throttle/Kill switch installed:
Time to build rear wheel to accept the drive sprocket, grinding down bearing dust cap:
Rear hub and coaster brake fall apart in the process:
Decided to file out center hole of the drive sprocket so as to not sand the tips of my fingers off with the dustcap and lack of bench grinder in my apartment:
Time to assemble rear wheel, sprocket, and rag joint... took 20 tries to get centered and true.
Assembled, and back on the bike:
Which presented the next problem with the coaster brake arm:
I put the brake arm in a vise, and bent it with a 1.5 foot piece of tubing to fit. Here it is assembled with chain and chain tensioner installed as well:
Installed fuel tank, installed fuel valve in the tank and connected fuel line with inline filter:
Needed trimmed, took care of that:
Wired up the CDI and plug wire:
Carb, intake, and clutch assembly:
Pain in the ass rag joint:
Getting there:
Closer:
Done. After a couple hold ups and a few trips to the hardware store to replace stripped cheapo chinese hardware with good stuff.
Then the muffler tack welds blew apart on the baffles resulting in can not being able to be reattatched without welding, been riding it like this ever since. Mega loud...:
And that's where I'm at today. Runs real good, takes me up all the hills I ask it to.Comment

That's pretty damn cool. I wish I had thought of that when I was in college. I only had to pedal my BMX from the dorms on the North Side into the downtown area. Having a little 2 stroke do all the work sounds like more fun.Comment
