Putting an 80cc kit on this Classic Schwinn I bought for 25$
I scored this classic Sierra for real cheap, and scored a cheap chinese engine kit from www.ebay.com/itm/186009800223 autoooparts sold me a great kit, and I highly recommend business with them.
These are some of my practices while building these bikes. this is a simple stock kit from the box, with a couple remedies for adapting to my bike frame. It's common to have to make small mods on most bike kits.

      @michaeltolomei6623 9 месяцев назад

      I'm from Washington, mine was found in a barn, dead. I got it for free, but put more in to it than she's probably worth lol. Yeah my trick was using magnets to get the weird roller pin bearings to stay put, as well as those funky ball locking bearings. Trouble is with those free little pin bearings is they can wear funny, and I found I didn't much like the way mine were wearing last time I looked in there. A regular bearing race would be so much better. if the bike ever has a fail, and survives it, that's what I'd likely put back in their place.

  • @TheLuckyfreeman

    is that the shaht with all the holes in it that has those 50 little roller bearings around a race that all fall out when you pull the shaft out My 1965 KS-100 had the same set up not sure if somebody did not upgrade that and remove and replace that lousy design with a solid 1 piece roller bearing for that shaft if anybody knows that would be appreciated they never should have used that 50 separate rollers that came out of the race

    • @michaeltolomei6623
      @michaeltolomei6623 9 месяцев назад

      indeed it was, I used magnets to keep them in place because yeah it's a terrible design. The bike still runs to this day for now. But that transmission is one scary sounding little thing. And I never did get it to shift strong. I can find all the gears but it's a dance cause no matter where I tune the "shift bell" for the drum shaft, it doesn;t seem to limit the kick enough. Bike seems to shift past gears most of the time.

I've actually lost case cover screws from vibration before even after making passes to make sure they were tight.. But yeah it's possible. All I know is it's back to working thankfully.

  • @73macrino
    @73macrino 11 месяцев назад

    First time seeing your channel and I dig it! Curious, what’s the brand name of that motor, I would like to get one and try this out? Another question for ya, I see you have a 10 speed in there, are you able to change gears on that bike with the motor on there and if so roughly how fast can you get that sucker up to?

    • @michaeltolomei6623
      @michaeltolomei6623 11 месяцев назад

      Most of these don't have a brand name, basically just goes by 80cc bike engine kit, Ebay is where I found mine. www.ebay.com/itm/124502549335 this is the listing I went through for the 80cc. There is also a 100cc, but honestly having bought both, I'd recommend the 80 over the 100. The 100, is touchy and doesn't run as smooth, I think that's cause it's timed the same as the 80, but requires a tweak, and that magneto set up has no such adjustment, so it becomes a custom job to get it to run right. So my 10 speed's gears operate on the pedal side, the motor has it's own chain. it operates separately from the pedal chain, however you can pedal with the engine on to assist it. There does exist a full conversion jack shaft kit to pipe the motor in to the bike gear set up but then it relies fully on the engine if you do the conversion. heh better have a good reliable set up for that. As for speed, I have had that 10 speed up to 35mph with the engine. and it gets there fairly fast enough. I hope this comment helps, I definitely recommend playing with one of these kits. really fun once you get them going. Hope this comment helps.

    • @michaeltolomei6623
      @michaeltolomei6623 3 года назад

      Basically, instead of forks moving gears in and out of drive, the gears are all in constant mesh, and the ratio is selected by a cam lobe that slides in and out of that hollow shaft. When the lobe is in line with a gear it forces these ball bearings into the gear and that is how the gear is selected. It's known as an Expanding Ball, or Ball-lock, transmission. They aren't common, but in the early days of motocross, the smaller cc engines could get away with a design like this, bigger cc engines would devastate the ball locks.

      @michaeltolomei6623 3 года назад

      @@metalwarrior6683 The Trouble's been getting all the parts. The manual is not always correct either, I have run into occasional translation issues. Not all of the tooling is available here either for end play adjustments. The bike was heavily mistreated when I got it. The first years of me working on it were not something I had filmed, but if you had seen the shape it was in, you'd have figured there's no way it was even worth attempting. Several problems I am still to this day having with it, are getting it to run leaner, no matter the jets, no matter the adjustment, she smokes bad. No matter the mix of fuel, it seems to smoke too, I am running at 40:1 and still she spooges out of the exhaust. The cyllinder has a slight head leak at times, despite having it machined, and running a copper crush gasket, I occasionally see bubbles, so I don't really ride it. Just start it for a couple minutes to keep the seals in use. The other major problem is the exhaust pipe, it's so rotten, and I keep having it brazed and welded shut, but pin holes re-appear. And I believe this and the head are the main reasons I can't get the bike to behave much. Also the shifting is very weird, I am not sure that I solved it's problem. It seems that you can shift past each gear into a neutral space. It's like there's a neutral between every gear. I know the bell nut is supposed to dictate the gear's actually grabbing, but no matter the adjustment, it's like I have to play a game of finding the gear. Eventually I can find it, but it's definitely not working correctly. Maybe you have some insight on this issue? my manual is not very helpful, it just explains by turns where the bell should be, but it seems to act no different than any other setting if that makes sense. In order to get it into gear, I have to do half shifts, and listen for the cam to actually send the balls into their locks. And of course it sounds slightly rough when it's running.

    • @metalwarrior6683
      @metalwarrior6683 3 года назад

      Thats normal that you have a neutral between the gearts its an adjustment thing its caused by the geometry of the shifting wedge. On my Hercules bikes with a Sachs Motor its the same. Exaust pipes are rally available here in Germany. And the copper gaskets never workt for me Original the must be something like a carbon fiber one thats quite thick with a Aluminium ring in it. here in germany its no Problem to get these parts but i dont know how available they are where you live
