yamahurry!

ok. But do u know how several ppl have dropped their seats in between the fenders? Looks slick im just trying to figure out how its done and how I should begin doing it.

Generally, the dropped seat requires the sprocket to be outside the seat well, between the tire and the inner fender. A brake disc or band brake drum goes in the other fender well.

in essence, you are just moving the sprockets and such out from under your seat.

so basically turning a vertical shaft engine to a side shaft engine setup?

that is the easiest way, but by FAR not the only way. Like I said, the motor choice dictates the trans choice.. and so on

well im definitely wanting the look of the seat recessed into the fenders and I'll most likely go live axle in the rear but yea I guess I need to get my driveline figured out before the asthetics of it.

even with the stock set up, there is a good deal of room to lower things... Look at the set up, and figure how much you can cut out. The MTD I took apart to build the fox had almost 12 inches I coulda dropped the seat. Kinda hard to see over the hood when you get TOO low though

sooooo im in pickle. I've got a fella with a kz650 bike but its just a roller its got engine trans no carbs and 130 psi compression (so he says) wants 100 bucks but is willing to trade me for my old iphone 4 OR do I trade my vintage sears ss16 tractor project for a good engine for the yamahurry?

trade the iphone. noone wants an apple product anyway

lol well here they're like crack haha. But I'm a little worried by taking ones word that it might run AFTER I buy 200 bucks worth of carbs etc. I'd honestly like to find something I can hear run ya know?

i dont care what ya do, just do NOT can the sears.. those things are too precious

o im never gonna can it lol ill either trade it or keep it. Just hate dealing with the points and coil compared to the ignition system of a newer engine.

you could probably convert it if you had some time to kill

i wouldnt trade the sears. just ditch the iphone, they are worthless these days anyways. plus you can use any carbs you want if you can make a manifold

worthless unless it has flappybird... LOL

lol stupid flappybird game. I have all the time in the world since my disability just gotta think how to convert a briggs ignition system on an onan.

just use a briggs magnatron coil to match the horse power on the onan and it should work perfect... at least it does in theory haha

well I'd have to add a magnet to the flywheel correct?

I'm still tryin to figure out why you wanna ditch the points... you can fine tune ignition timing with a points set up... they aren't that hard to figure out

I agree larwen, points are probably the simplest ignition system around. if you wanted to run the magnatron however, you would have to source a B&S flywheel as well and ensure the timing will all line up. honestly I'd go with lawren on this one and save yourself the headache
