Nice. 5hp is the perfect size for most motorized bikes. Just so you know though, with some exceptions all engines are 4-cycle (suck, squeeze, bang, blow.) There are no 2-cycle engines. You were close though. The different types are 2-stroke and 4-stroke, the difference being how many strokes it takes the engine to complete all 4 cycles. Anyways, it doesn't really matter but I figured I would mention that.
@crazyfvck nope this is a two stroke engine. I can tell because it has no valves or lifters or a camshaft. My other bike's engine is a four stroke engine. And you are right, most engines today are 4 strokes except for things like leaf blowers and weed eaters. This is an older engine.
@Mr1Pyrotechnician Yes I know that. But in the video you called it a 2-"cycle." But there are no 2-cycle engines, because all engines have 4 cycles (intake, compression, power, exhaust.) The proper term is 2-stroke, since that type of engine completes all 4 cycles in 2 piston strokes. Anyways, like I said it doesn't really matter. And yes you are correct, the EPA is trying to get rid of 2-stroke engines because they pollute a lot more than 4-stroke engines.
my motor looks smaller ill get a vid i havnt got 2 work on it yet not even sure if it runs lol project wont start until spring hey what size shaft is it 3/4 or 5/8
does the engine get hot when u ride it?

@FonzoCapone It actually doesn't work anymore but when it did I just had to be careful.

@crazyfvck I would have called it a two stroke engine but i made this video early in the morning and I was still half asleep.

@gaspowerrules The shaft on my bike was 1" but I machined it down to 3/4. If you ever get it working I would like to see it.
