You can tell a good mechanic by the tools they use! Slip joint pliers are not made for hex nuts but a open end or box wrench is! If I saw someone using a per of pliers on my bolts or nuts unless stripped I would come unglued! Been making my living work on motorcycles and doing machine work for 45 plus years!!!!!!!!
If you pause at 12:47 you will see that this bike does not have clearance between the crank arm and transmission housing, making conventional riding impossible. If you run out of gas or the engine quits, you will be pushing this puppy. It is also a good idea to make certain that oil is present in the crankcase in the correct amount BEFORE adding fuel...
Yes, it's a 26" Micargi Men's Tahiti. Keep in mind that they recently made a design change where the cranks are designed for forward pedaling which means the crank housing is in front of the seat post instead of underneath it. This makes installation a little more difficult, but still doable.
How are you doing, I see your video was published long time ago, I got a question: What is the right name of a new crank shaft you use on approximately 4:40 in your video? Is it threaded 3 ps crank shaft? Thank you.
Great instructive Video...Respectfully suggesting chafe padding of the motor mount clamps to preserve paint. Use old inner-tube material or what-have-you.
I tried that, and my bike stalls at idle because it grips. Yes, I played with the idle speed, but couldn’t get it to stop so I put the springs back in.
Hey BikeBerry, could we get a video showing this 4-stroke installed on a typical hard tail mountain bike like a Specialized Rockhopper? Also, does installing a motor mean that the front derailleur and 3-speed chainrings can no longer be used?
I would think that motor shelf might get in be way of the derailleur mount. If the crank has to be replaced to allow for the thickness of the engine and mount to clear the sprocket then I see it being a problem
appreaciate the diy video i been going over it all day long ... been looking for more diy videos as i plan on studying my but off on these videos until i just know what to do without thinking about it do will be checking your other videos out ty!
Great job on the vid! Question: Does the geared transmission slip? I've heard that can be a problem. If so, what can you do to correct it? Thanks again.
Is there a tutorial for doing this on geared bikes? Also my friend has one, and it compression starts, and has a clutch. What kind of build would I do for that?
Question can I add on a shock fork on a beach cruiser and if a gear block can work on the back wheel just asking for you advise bless up 🙏 you self out there
Yes i was wondering if we can convert an e bike to a hybrid using this method however I am unsure because of the electric motor being on the back wheel and as well as it also being twist throttle based
The heat shields do nothing but overheat the engine if there’s not a fan blowing through them I seen a lot of people with Chinese scooters Who remove the fan to try to make it faster only to blow it up
I have the same bike frame, but in my kit I got a long axle that for a mountain bike, where do I get that central axle that has a thread? or how did you do?
I bought a 'cruiser' style huffy that's retro style & looks like what you have here. Was wondering about 2 things-1-Where this has "old fashioned" braking (no handle brakes, just pushing back on pedals like on single speed bikes) Was wondering, where this is like that, would I need extra brakes installed to give added stopping power? 2-If I do need extra braking power via extra brakes, this bike seems like it has pretty wide, thick 26 " tires but was wondering if I'd need something thicker to handle wear on tires from braking
+Chris Geoffrey The braking logic you are thinking about is called a coaster brake, on the rear wheel, there is an arm connected to a plate. That is it. It is typically on a clutch, too. You can always add caliper brakes. Those are easy as well. I recommend both kinds of brakes, just in case. It'd suck if you couldn't stop at 45 going down a hill. In an intersection. Also, if you are using a cruiser, you may need to remove the mudguards to apply the caliper brakes.
+Gage Justice- ok Ty Gage, I'll remember that. I did have a different ?. I have a 49 cc engine Ifrom a 'X-treme 350' style scooter I was thinking of using as the power source for this new huffy of mine. I don't have dinensions of actual motor, but, if you yourself are familiar with those "X-Treme" products, you may've seen what I'm talking about. I think they only hit like 30-35mph anyways, but, again, never having a gas powered bike but being interested enough to maybe create 1, I found this channel. I'm kind of hoping the dimensions work to just mount it the way I've seen others, which usually doesn't include putting on some kind of back carraige just to mount a motor (would be where a basket might go, we'll say, right near the back reflector). Only things now I'd need to get/find out are chain for back tire going into motor (its already compatible it seems with a chain, since that's what drives this x-treme scooter I've had sitting around, the brakes U mentioned, and what I can use the electric battery thats on the scooter for, like, maybe rigging up a front lamp & some kind of turn signals ( was an udea I mentally was playing with, trying to make the finished product more safe if I drive it @ night, bike is pretty dark in color on its own). Once I get started, I may do youtube of it since I have a channel
+Gage Justice-P.S. even though U don't really talk about it here, Thank God for the nice, thick seat thats on this huffy cruiser bike!! I never liked the other type of seats. The one on the bike in this video has one I'd eventually find uncomfortable. I can't think of style names for seats except "banana". The one I have is wgat one'd find on a "crusher" style bike
Chris Geoffrey Yes, the wide ones are the best. I am not too sure of the names of the specifics, but I do know what you're talking about. Huffy is pretty good - heavy as hell, but the nuts, bolts, clamps and gear joints are pretty much all the same size: 16mm or 10mm. It's crazy helpful. The mudguards are also a HUGE plus, especially after a rainy day.
hey bike berry I have a schwinn JAGUAR beach cruiser it has 7 gears to change into the rear wheel the pedals only have one gear I want a 4 Stroke engine but I don't know what kind of kit I need with the 7 gears and also I try to look up 4 or 2 stroke instalation videos on bikes with gears ( 10 speed, 7 speed, mountain bikes or a bike like mine's ) but no luck do you guys know of any video or you think you guys can make a video about this it would be a big help to new customers THANKS SOON TO BE A FIRST TIME CUSTOMER AND RIDER CAN'T WAIT 😆 👍
what maintenance is required for kits like these and how often? how frequently do we need to change the engine oil? from where can i buy kits that require minimal maintenance?
@@sergioaquino553 the one on the bronze side I took off that will drain fuel if its tipped over or floods the carb bowl the one on the other side is for draining and storage if you look under it it has almost like valve like on brakes you open that to drain out the hose for storage so the bowl isn't sitting with fuel if you dont plan on using it like me you can cut it short or take it off
last comment, I'm thanful that in a lot of areas, these type of gas bikes don't get you hassled by the cops. Lets hope that entities like the DMV/RMV don't change the rules concerning street legalness for gas powered bikes, that'd suck
How come mine did not come with the crank shaft, are they suppose to come with a crank shaft, my bike can't get built now until I get one, there is still 3 inches or so left wen useing big pedels you will need a 8 inch crank shaft for the larger pedals, also with my beach cruzer which has one fat bar needs extra large engine mounts which the kit ones don't fit as well as the fule tank one's aswell
I have a Firmstrong urban man beach cruiser but the coster brake arm doesnt come out like the one in this video. its all connected how to i put the drive sprocket?
Unfortunately our engine kits do not come ready for tricycle mounting. Due to the geometry of most tricycles, our engines would not be able to be mounted safely.
I've installed my engine and everything is working good. Motor seems a little rough and does not idle correctly. Is there another video for adjustments. also does the engine have a choke for cold weather.
Kevin Ward During the break-in period, the engine does run a little rough. After the break-in period, it should get easier and easier to start. Keep playing with your carburetor jet spin to adjust your idle RPM. Check out this video: ruclips.net/video/XAaKSII_vbo/видео.html
Kevin Ward There is a choke! It's the small toggle lever near the air filter. At the top position, the choke is completely closed. At the bottom position it is completely open. You can it to be about 15% open when doing a cold start. After the engine is warmed up, then open it to about 75% open.
+ColtWKnight the chain that comes in the kit was way longer than I needed for 26s. it should be long enough easily for a 29 were only talking about 3 inches of chain-----my 26 inch build I had about ohhh 5 inches left after I cut it where I needed it you should be good bro
Ok i got a question i know it might sound stupid but i don't know. Ok i just got my 49cc 4stroke installed and running but it is still trying to go when in idle and i don't know y. Is that normal? could it be to much oil? please some one,
+Anthony Storey The carb has a small screw that regulates the idle speed, so try reducing the idle speed (You'll need to have the engine turned on to verifiy that it won't move) If this doesn't work, you might want to put in a centrifugal clutch between the engine and the shaft that drives the wheels, which will keep the wheels stopped when on idle or low speed, and with the sole speed of the flywheel, the clutch engages and wheels spin
You put the tensioner pulley in a maxed out position when the chain stretches you'll have to move the clamp. I think it should of been put about in the middle lower end of the bracket. Great video though
I like the 4 stroke, I bet it doesn't die when stopped for a while. I have an 80cc 2 stroke and it has a tendency to die if im stopped at a light. Then I have to peddle through the intersection and then I can use the throttle. I am still breaking it in but I dont think itll ever stop dying after being stopped for awhile. Does any know if it will change after the breakin period?
+Cassie G You might have to play around with the carb's idle speed, so try winding or unwinding the limit screw that stops the regulator valve. A 4 stroke will give you a lot less power output because of how its been designed since forever (Contains heavy counterweights, that have to be there so the engine doesn't stop when its not on the ignition stroke, so those will steal quite some power). If the problem persists, you may be locking down the engine when the wheels are stopped, on which i would recommend you to install a centrifugal clutch, in between the wheel's gear and the engine's power output gear, and this clutch will do, is that it won't engage the engine on low revs, and when climbing up engine rpm, clutch engages and the wheel will start spinning
On a Huffy beach cruiser you are better off using only the back rubber grommet because the front one will push the sprocket out too far making it difficult to align everything. Just be sure to remove the bearing dust cover and cut the lip so you can flatten it out over the top of the sprocket. Other than that the stock 40 tooth fits perfectly and you do NOT have to bend the brake arm.
when i drop the clutch when riding i get this popping feling while riding. when i release the clutch the feeling goes away and the engine sounds fine. the popping does not occur while riding with the clutch disengaged. what could this be?
Is this regarding a 2-stroke engine? The 4-stroke is a centrifugal clutch, so you don't have to pop it in. If you're talking about the 2-stroke, careful when popping your clutch. The torque tends to stress the small bevel wheel and with enough force from a harsh clutch release, it can cause hairline fractures on the small bevel wheel. I recommend opening up the clutch case cover (The tear drop case cover) and checking for any particular damage or obstruction within the gear and clutch. Also check for any metal grindings because a harsh clutch engagement can cause undesired realignment with the two gears in the clutch cover. Hope this helps!
Here's a suggestion. Before the installation, you should show us how to troubleshoot any problems we might encounter. I just received my first 49cc 4 stroke engine, and there's a problem with the throttle. There's no tension in the throttle spring. How do I fix that? I need an answer fast. Thanks.
It would make no sense for troubleshooting to be at the beginning of an installation video considering many are there for the installation not troubleshooting. We have a few troubleshooting videos and are currently working on more. You can always call our customer service team for help at any time. (800)317-0479.... We just got a super cool drone so we will certainly be getting more riding footage in the future.
@@bikeberry So, you install the engine first, then have to remove it just to show how to fix certain problems? I'm having to use a rubber washer for my throttle because the throttle spring is bad. Plus, I had to cut the choke switch in half so I could put the engine on my bike. I still have to remove it to readjust it. The chain is jumping the rear sprocket. Plus, my air filter is leaking gas and oil. If you can help me with that, I'd greatly appreciate it. Like I said, this is my first 4 stroke engine.
@@UrielB86 Yes that is generally how install videos work. If you purchased your 4 stroke from us we have a full team of specialist here to help at anytime. Give us a call or visit our website and web chat with us (800)317-0479
@@bikeberry That's the thing. I purchased the engine from EBay. I just put gas and oil in and started it. It leaks oil from the air filter, and I just noticed that it's not idling. I have no idea what to do.
Thinking of doing this with my Onyx Genesis 29inch -- can you tell me where you ordered the Grip and Cables and would they fit the Handle Bars of a Onyx Genesis 29inch from Walmart???? thanks
+Kk Andretti DID IT WORK???? I need to know!!!!---like,.. quickly because im about to buy THAT bike and do the same thing THIS WEEK-----did it work????
My 4 stroke clutch engages way too late and it always slips when i apply throttle so acceleration is practically non existent and it's so bad that my bike isn't usable at the moment. I think my clutch springs are too stiff, is there anything i can do?
You are correct, it is referring to the tire size but is a common and widely accepted reference for bike size. Many beach cruisers and mountain bikes have a single "universal" size, leading to any scaling in size also affecting the tire size, which leads to the acceptance of using the tire dimensions for a bikes size.
Not on the stock mount the 4-stroke 48cc comes with, but I believe it can for the Heavy Duty Mount: www.bikeberry.com/engine-kit-parts/4-stroke-parts/heavy-duty-4-stroke-mount-plate.html We are currently out of stock of it though. It should be available again in the next 1-2 weeks.
Dude went from Napoleon Dynamite to Bobby Hill in the course of 13 minutes!!!
You're correct. Adding the engine oil is definitely a pivotal part in getting the motor running. I'll add an annotation. Thanks for noticing.
9 Years later Oct 2022, this early BikeBerry installation is still good today.

If you run out of gas or the engine quits, you will be pushing this puppy. It is also a good idea to make certain that oil is present in the crankcase in the correct amount BEFORE adding fuel...
9:22 You can use compressed air to remove the handlebar grips. Stick the end of a tube air nozzle under the grip and blow.

You did a fine job with this video. Thank you for posting. Ignore the trolls. You did a real public service.
Sure, a public service showing how not to do the job.
Also , removing the clutch springs improves clutch and overall motor performance. It allows the clutch to fully grip at low RPMs
I tried that, and my bike stalls at idle because it grips. Yes, I played with the idle speed, but couldn’t get it to stop so I put the springs back in.
you really just gotta bend them a little. there’s a video on here that shows that pretty sure.

Then I have to peddle through the intersection and then I can use the throttle. I am still breaking it in but I dont think itll ever stop dying after being stopped for awhile. Does any know if it will change after the breakin period?
+Cassie G You might have to play around with the carb's idle speed, so try winding or unwinding the limit screw that stops the regulator valve. A 4 stroke will give you a lot less power output because of how its been designed since forever (Contains heavy counterweights, that have to be there so the engine doesn't stop when its not on the ignition stroke, so those will steal quite some power). If the problem persists, you may be locking down the engine when the wheels are stopped, on which i would recommend you to install a centrifugal clutch, in between the wheel's gear and the engine's power output gear, and this clutch will do, is that it won't engage the engine on low revs, and when climbing up engine rpm, clutch engages and the wheel will start spinning
On a Huffy beach cruiser you are better off using only the back rubber grommet because the front one will push the sprocket out too far making it difficult to align everything. Just be sure to remove the bearing dust cover and cut the lip so you can flatten it out over the top of the sprocket. Other than that the stock 40 tooth fits perfectly and you do NOT have to bend the brake arm.
You can pick the same thing w d-40 is that the self to wash your hands
Starts with a coaster brake on the rear wheel, no brake on the front wheel, ends with hand brakes on both wheels.
when i drop the clutch when riding i get this popping feling while riding. when i release the clutch the feeling goes away and the engine sounds fine. the popping does not occur while riding with the clutch disengaged. what could this be?
Is this regarding a 2-stroke engine? The 4-stroke is a centrifugal clutch, so you don't have to pop it in. If you're talking about the 2-stroke, careful when popping your clutch. The torque tends to stress the small bevel wheel and with enough force from a harsh clutch release, it can cause hairline fractures on the small bevel wheel. I recommend opening up the clutch case cover (The tear drop case cover) and checking for any particular damage or obstruction within the gear and clutch. Also check for any metal grindings because a harsh clutch engagement can cause undesired realignment with the two gears in the clutch cover. Hope this helps!
i'll try that. thanks!
Here's a suggestion. Before the installation, you should show us how to troubleshoot any problems we might encounter. I just received my first 49cc 4 stroke engine, and there's a problem with the throttle. There's no tension in the throttle spring. How do I fix that? I need an answer fast. Thanks.
Oh, another thing. After installation, take the bike for a test run so viwers can see the bike in action.
It would make no sense for troubleshooting to be at the beginning of an installation video considering many are there for the installation not troubleshooting. We have a few troubleshooting videos and are currently working on more. You can always call our customer service team for help at any time. (800)317-0479.... We just got a super cool drone so we will certainly be getting more riding footage in the future.
@@bikeberry So, you install the engine first, then have to remove it just to show how to fix certain problems? I'm having to use a rubber washer for my throttle because the throttle spring is bad. Plus, I had to cut the choke switch in half so I could put the engine on my bike. I still have to remove it to readjust it. The chain is jumping the rear sprocket. Plus, my air filter is leaking gas and oil. If you can help me with that, I'd greatly appreciate it. Like I said, this is my first 4 stroke engine.
@@UrielB86 Yes that is generally how install videos work. If you purchased your 4 stroke from us we have a full team of specialist here to help at anytime. Give us a call or visit our website and web chat with us (800)317-0479
@@bikeberry That's the thing. I purchased the engine from EBay. I just put gas and oil in and started it. It leaks oil from the air filter, and I just noticed that it's not idling. I have no idea what to do.
On Amazon i see it for $300 from bikeberry but it got a 2 and a half rating should I trust it? I really want this !
+Raishon Bodrick The reason why it is poorly rated is because people who don't do research buy it, and then complain that it won't fit.
Will this engine fit on a Micargi Falcon GT?
I have a question about the coaster brake arm. Do I need to reinstall it if i will have a rear and front brake
Thinking of doing this with my Onyx Genesis 29inch -- can you tell me where you ordered the Grip and Cables and would they fit the Handle Bars of a Onyx Genesis 29inch from Walmart???? thanks
+Kk Andretti DID IT WORK???? I need to know!!!!---like,.. quickly because im about to buy THAT bike and do the same thing THIS WEEK-----did it work????
My 4 stroke clutch engages way too late and it always slips when i apply throttle so acceleration is practically non existent and it's so bad that my bike isn't usable at the moment.
I think my clutch springs are too stiff, is there anything i can do?
Will the pedal also clear a belt transmission or is a wide crankshaft needed?
excellent video very well made with detail instructions
You mentioned a 26" bike. Is the 26" the tire diameter or some other measurement?
You are correct, it is referring to the tire size but is a common and widely accepted reference for bike size. Many beach cruisers and mountain bikes have a single "universal" size, leading to any scaling in size also affecting the tire size, which leads to the acceptance of using the tire dimensions for a bikes size.
Thank you
Hey I was looking at these motors at ebay and found one for 22 bucks full kit is it worth it?
Ever hot any sweet jumps on that thing?
What about the 4 stroke oil? How much do we put in the motor with oil?
Hi, can i install the engine to fixed gear bike?
Why would you do that? The pedals would keep spinning
Can that engine mount support the Predator 79cc Engine?? Please help
Not on the stock mount the 4-stroke 48cc comes with, but I believe it can for the Heavy Duty Mount: www.bikeberry.com/engine-kit-parts/4-stroke-parts/heavy-duty-4-stroke-mount-plate.html
We are currently out of stock of it though. It should be available again in the next 1-2 weeks.
Would a 24 inch women’s bike be ok?
can i switch out a 2 stroke for a 4 stroke by just replaceing the engine?
