I Used to work at a small engines shop, Thoughs old cast iron WB modle engines? Are awsome, and pretty near bulit proof! but if your going to use it on a bike?
I would Advise you to replace the carb you have on there from a 1970-89 aluminum block industrial engine? with a motorcycle carb. Bprobably an Ebay kit bicycle engine carb or one from? Say a old honda 50 would work best.
The engine fit good. I'm making another kit with and Echo engine.
Take a look at my build it's Bobs weedeater bike that my vid I try to upload but had to use my friend acount mine not working I have to fix that later..
That's a Craftsman leafblower engine it burn up I baby it and had enough oil.
But now I have and Echo srm 302 engine that will work great almost done need some adjustments it on the bike now but need to finish the spindle drive.
How will you power the rear wheel, Back in the 1960s you could get a ring that would bolt to the rear wheel for a belt, that is how I made my first motorbike using the same engine you have, only mine was direct drive no clutch, you had to shut off the engine to stop, I was more risky in my younger days. Nice video good work. Phil
@farmerphil In a other video I show how I have 2 rims welded together, and 1 is used for the tire and the other is the drive pulley. Foot powered clutch and all that fun stuff too. Direct drive must have been fun to ride until you had to suddenly stop.

it sounds like its running around 700 rpm but running too rich, try this again and play with the mixture screw to get it firing evenly

Laurence: its called a 4 stroke engine. Its going so slow you are hearing the compression and power stroke.
