If you happen to have the small tube Cranbrook frame you shouldn't need an adapter. After I started using the welded front engine mount, I put them on every bike build, it just insures that the engine will never move even if the owner never checks the nuts & bolts through time, it's just a system I use that's never let me down yet.

Hello Eco-Trans, I watched your video. I also have been building motorized bikes for 10 years or so. First in Tampa, Florida and now here in Las Vegas. If you've never had this problem with the internal parts breaking before except only with this one customer not once, but heaven forbid 3 times - then there is a strong possibility that the customer is abusing the bike during the break-in process. He is probably riding it too hard or too long of time during the break-in process either/or not following the break-in procedures properly. You mentioned that you even switched companies where you bought the engines and the same customer still had engine problems. That is a very good sign that the customer is to blame. I'm sure you already know that during the break-in process the customer is not to ride the bike more than 4 or 5 miles or 20 minutes at a time and then turn off the engine and let it cool all the way back down before turning the engine back on again. So that means at least a minimum of 1-2 hours of cooling down time before turning the engine back on again. Also as I'm sure you have told the customer, the customer has to continue putting in extra oil during the break-in process. The Oil mixture during break-in process has to be 8 ounces of Oil to 1 Gallon of Gas. And also the break-in process lasts a very long time.. approximately 2 gallons worth of gas. Which is about 4 or 5 bike tank fulls of gas.

You can talk to some people until your blue in the face.. 🤬🤬Most of them just don't listen, plain & simple. The small percent of the ones that do usually don't have problems & get a ton of miles trouble free riding & the ones that don't seem to assume that you should take care of any problems they create on a daily basis or at least some of them anyway. I gave up years ago trying to teach people how to take care of their bikes & how not to ride them if they want them to last. These days I just get them started with the basics & let them figure it out for themselves. Some people only learn the hard way & that's by keep buying parts.. 🤷♂🤷♂I hope I don't sound like a complete ass of a person but if you have been building bikes as long as you say I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. 🤦♂🤦♂

I feel your pain.. 😭😭Over time I have built 100's of these bikes. Some of them are perfect right out of the box, starts right up, never has any problems, rides for thousands of miles, always reliable.. Then there's the others, hard starting, constant engine problems, parts just falling apart, every time your ride it you're wondering if it's going to make it or what's going to go wrong next. . It's not our fault..!! It's the quality of the kits..!! These kits are not the best quality & I don't care where you buy them from, they all come from China..!!! It's a gamble every time you build one.. Having said all that, don't give up.. 👍👍If you don't let anger overtake you & you quit, you'll eventually get it lined out & be able to enjoy riding it.. It's just the way these are.. Thanks for the comment 🙏 Ride safe.

The only way to get any type of Quality out of these bikes if you're buying them, new is two take them apart and rebuild them. Everybody that has owned these knows they are full of trash and the bearings in them are bone dry. So you can't expect to buy one out of the box put it in a bike and expect it to run more than a couple miles before it breaks. As an engine builder myself, I would never buy one of these out of the box and put it in a bike and give it to a customer. You are only asking for trouble because it will be coming back to you in a short time in pieces. Thanks for sharing the video. This is the second time I've ever seen magneto come apart like this.. More than likely it, it was caused by lack of quality control. Which China has zero of!👍
@EcoTransGaspoweredBikesАй бұрын
I agree 👍👍All of these engines have little to no quality control. In my opinion they could use better materials building these engines, that would help a lot with longevity. 🚴♂🚴♂

That shaft can be straightened really easily if you take your time . But the keyway might not be able to hold a new key. Hard to tell from the video. That shaft is not trued on most new motors! They can get bent very easily. I have never seen a mag come apart like that before. That was crazy.👍
@EcoTransGaspoweredBikesАй бұрын
I disagree a bit with your theory about the output shaft being true, granted they aren't Ferrari quality, they usually are pretty close. If they weren't the magnet would rub on the coil. The shaft on this engine was really to bent & wasn't worth the effort.

How did you solve the issue with the coaster brake arm rubbing on the bolts for the sprocket?
@EcoTransGaspoweredBikes2 ай бұрын
I use two methods to get clearance from the bolt heads; 1 if you're using the rag joint that comes with your kit I use an acetylene torch to heat the brake arm (off of the bicycle) to bend & reshape it to have clearance. 2- I mainly use an aluminum hub adapter instead of the rag joint, it will slide left & right to give you more clearance & better chain adjustment. I prefer the second method it's just a much better set up, but if you have to reshaping the bends in the brake are does work. I hope this helps you with your issue.👍👍

There is no chance of crushing the hub with one of these. Putting a keyway in one of these also doesn't work it just ruins your hub & makes things worse.

People are simply that clueless. Your customer said it ran before they brought it in to you. In their head "ran" means it made an engine sound when clutch was engaged. You in your head - ran means propelling you forward with combustion. People are that clueless.

I somewhat agree with your statement, although this particular bike, I was told it was ridden to my door but when we pushed it inside the engine was completely cold so I pretty much knew this wasn't a mistake in communication.

It sounds like the ole bikes engine is on its way to retirement.. 😥😥 Usually when you have to start spraying carb. brake cleaner or starting fluid in the air cleaner to get it to fire is a sure tale sign of worn-out cylinder & rings. ( Low Compression) I'm not sure what jet cleaner you poured in the gas tank, but I've found that the only type of fuel type of cleaner that doesn't harm these engines is Seafoam. ( Just for future reference). I would try the spray method to see if I had an air leak & if nothing is found I would just plan on getting a new engine, it's just not money ahead to rebuild these things anymore.
