HOW TO PREP A WEED EATER MOTOR FOR A BICYCLE!
Here is how I prep a weed eater motor before I install it on a bicycle. Although some models vary, a good amount will be prepped in this fashion. Removing the plastic covers will make mounting easier and allow the best air cooling for the engine. Stay tuned for more videos!

Is there a right way and a wrong way to mount a weed eater motor to your bicycle? I have done over 10 years of testing how to make a weed eater bike safely for years of reliable use. Now I share what I have found to be the best method with you. More videos are coming soon!

    At the end of your video when you're talking about putting the washers and nut back on to help hold the flywheel if waiting on a peg or socket, what is that piece and why do you need it to install the motor on the bicycle? Btw, really enjoyed this video I had the idea of doing this on a whim one day earlier this week and have been struggling with, so more than words could say to express my joy for your information I will leave this question/comment with a thank you thank you THANK YOU! and I look forward to your reply to my question. 😃

    80% carb problems, 20% spark arrestor (metal screen in exhaust box to catch any sparks from coming out) the spark arrestor gets carbon build up from the 2 cycle oil and the exhaust fumes start backing up.. 1st thing to do if you get or have a small engine (weed eater, chainsaw, leaf blower etc etc..) is to check the spark screen because if air can not pass through the engine it will not start. Take that screen out and use a torch to burn the junk that built up in it or lay it on something that isn't flammable and pour a bottle cap of gas on it and burn it off that way.. I normally throw all spark arrestor screens in the garbage but you should check to make sure it's legal to remove it in your state or providence.. emission control laws in some regions are strict and could result in a very hefty fine, court cost and missed days at work. So be smart and check first. Kids.. you know you are not supposed to be playing with fire or lighting gas on fire without adult supervision so don't get caught.. no wait I meant to say don't do it haha

      @nasferatudragwylia4418 2 года назад

      I always leave my pull rope on.. without it most people push start or rig up a fancy chain-clutch to the actual pedals to start it by pedaling.. that makes no sense to me since the pull rope was already there. I have seen people just take a piece of rope and wrap it around the fly wheel which they would then pull to start the engine.. again this makes zero sense and creates a hazard of to rope getting entangled, which could cause serious bodily injury plus cause damage to the engine itself.. some will argue that removing the pull rope and housing provides a cooler running engine due to air flow but if your engine is running hot you have other issues and increasing air flow is just putting a Bandaid on a cancer development figuratively speaking.. the underlying problem is still there and should be found and fixed.. also it is possible to use a transmission fluid cooler to help cool an engine that is over heating but again this is masking the problem, not fixing it.. it will always come back to bite you in the end it's just a matter of time. *Possible cause of engine over heating.. spark arrestor screen in the exhaust box is stopping up, piston ring/rings need replaced, valves are not seating correctly due to carbon build up.. hope this info helps you more than once. :)

    You used a shitload of words to say very little lol. you also didn't even show shit like you said you were going to in the beginning of the video. Something like 'other guys show a finished product and go backwards, I'm gonna show it from the beginning step by step'... Even though you had all the mounting brackets done, ect.... Shit, all its seems like you did was take off the engine from that display bike before the video, then showed already made parts and brackets haha. Maybe lable your video differently next time please?, this is a damn 8 minute intro video to a step by step series, that you never actually made...., that I probably would have watched to get some ideas for my project. Keep on weed wackin' up them bikes!!!!

    • @nasferatudragwylia4418
      @nasferatudragwylia4418 2 года назад

      If you remove the plastic housing from the engine this frees up screws and screw holes and provides more air flow across the engine to help it run cooler and the cooler an engine is.. the more fuel efficient it is.

    The only time I cracked an engine was riding off a curb. I'm still running the same homelite as I have for years. Myself I would get a peg that's knurled and back off the tension. Lowering the tire pressure a touch helps also. Also you shouldn't have any more vibration than normal if things are balanced.

    When it's time to trash it.... Why wouldn't you take off the ignition wire/sparkplug wire, and the controls... Choke lever and rpm control lever section of it off??? Its only the block that's bad. You could gut the block too!! Take the piston and mounts all of it is still good. Besides the normal wear and tear. Right???

    spin the crank so that your piston is at bottom dead center take off your spark plug stick a rope in there turn your crank until it jams up and then you can loosen it or tighten it whichever one you need to do and then just turn it the other way and Pull the Rope out it doesn't hurt anything you don't break any fins

    • @nasferatudragwylia4418
      @nasferatudragwylia4418 2 года назад

      This can also be accomplished using solder wire if the wire is thick.. I use the same method to calibrate the squish between the top of the piston and the head since solder wire is relatively soft it gets "squished" just like the air-gas mixture and when you pull the soldering wire out you can measure the amount of "squish" by measuring the thickness of the "squished" soldering wire.
