michael Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Why couldn't the engine be mounted behind the seat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted June 4, 2008 Author Share Posted June 4, 2008 Why couldn't the engine be mounted behind the seat? I did think of that but i would have had to make up a frame to hold it and none of the throttal or clutch cables would have reached, its all done now, just going up halfords to get some fuel line and if i can get it started vids soon:d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewOW Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Brilliant As long as you don't have to back-pedal to brake, you should be fine. Not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gavin.starr Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 ive made one of them before on my mongoose bmx when i was 18 i used a lawn mower engine and a go cart centrifugal clutch of ebay. i made a carrier on the back of the bike though as i thought it ws a bit looney having the engine between my legs. it was crap at setting off but once the clutch propperly kicked in it was a beast. i got clocked by my mate in his nova at 36 mph god knows how i didnt kill myself because the brakes were pointless. ill get some pics soon if i can find them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michel lane Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Sorted, i bolted it. Engine fitted with chain tensioner (im gonna get that welded in place so it wont move) gonna drop it of at the welders now to sort out the downpipe for the exhaust:d http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c338/jamie450x/mongoose.jpg YOU GONNA BURN YOUR "BALLS":bang: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike B Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 That's classic I can see so many ways to seriously injure yourself on that... and still I'm sure there are plenty of scenarios I've missed. How many test pilots do you go through a year with your crazy schemes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
