Homemade chopper 3.5hp

On this video it only goes maybe 50kmh but by bapassing the governor i got it up to around 80! I had a briggs 3.5 laying around and an old ccm bike frame and a wheel barrow wheel... couldnt just let all that good stuff sit there, had to make something! its pretty cool actually although on the video it has no brakes.. pulls pretty good for a little 3.5

is there any advantage of using a lawnmower engine over a weedeater for a bike besides power? i mean the float could get messed up D:.

[mikabrandl]

no theres no advantages besides power and the fact that it sounds better on a chopper.. Weedwacker engine's are just really small..

God does this bring back memories. Back in the early sixties we used to mount the motor 2 1/5 hp Briggs on a flat plate on a 24" frame. (No horizontal shaf lawn more within 10 miles was safe)! Use 20 inch wheels. Tig Weld the rear wheel sprocket to lock with a jack shaft. Built a bunch of em. Most modern kids have no clue. They just have mommy buy them a nifty engineered toy. Was much more fun to build em. Helmet??? what was that!!! I'm still alive at 65!

@randomguy9898

most weed whackers are 2-strokes, alot louder (some of them) and they dont make as much torque as a 4-stroke. also weed whacker motors are usualy under 50cc, so its tiny. if ur using one of those for a project i would go with the 4-stroke lawnmower engine.
