Will you look at all the clever product placement:

- CRC
- WD-40
- Febreeze
- Ice Cutter
- Minwax Wipe On Poly
- Sharpie

No earplugs? Where's the rear brake?

You missed some.

Not that loud. Rear brake is down under.

How fast is it? Can you still pedal and shift gears?

Where'd you buy it? Looks neat. Does that fuel filter come with the kit?

Flat out - I guess about 30 mph. Yes - but I removed my front dérailleur in preparation for the next modification. A jackshaft and elimination of the left rear sprocket. Then I could do 35+, and still pull stumps in low!

You can buy the engine kits from ebay sellers or vendors on the web. The fuel filter is just a standard inline fuel filter from any auto parts store. The tank comes with a tiny screen filter that I didn't use....just looked like it would clog in the tank and be a headache. That's the trick with these Chinese junkers, souping and adapting. Tons of fun - lots of relaxing frustration!

With a freewheel on the jack shaft I assume?

Pablo,
the slot on the engine/clutch assy...how much clearance is there if the chain were to be vertical, or over centre ?
