haha, nice, did you do all that in one day? I tried that once with a 32cc weedwacker on a scooter but couldnt get it to go for any signifigant distance, looks like you geared yours alot shorter than i did. Thats probably why, cant expect too much torque from 32cc's. Oh, and do you have a centrifugal clutch in there somewhere or is it puch start?

Done in one day, just welded the frame together and threw a quick coat of primer on it. The weedwhacker motor is nothing, really, just spare parts.. It does run, just not very fast.

Jared,
I'm not gonna show Max those pics - he would be all over dismantling one of our wackers and building a chopper or fix'n onto one of his mobile items. I can't afford the hospital bills...

Orange County Chopper has nothing on you!

Hmmm, Looks like you might be able to shoehorn a B&S 5 HP horizontal shaft into that space.... Let the madness begin!
