It would be very hard to trigger them all at once, i would try feeding it through a car ignition coil ......actually, dont, I have no idea whatsoever whether it would work or not .......

I would extend the barrel by a foot or so, just do what I did; Find a bit of pipe that fits snugly over the barrel, Ddrill holes through it and setscrew it to the end of the barrel. Works for me

Good job on the build, no clutch?, you can drift start it. Do the smart thing hook the govener back up, horizonal crankshaft engines make peak power at 3600 RPM's, ALL OF THEM! anything over will permaturely wear out your engine. Vertical crankshaft engines make peak power at 3400 RPM's. You can ...

Right, i finally got it more-or-less finished yesterday. Here are the new pics:

ill try to. theres a swap meet coming up in may.......soooo long to wait......

cgainsaws are awesome for scooters and bikes because of the power band!!! but u will need to change sprockets cause a chainsaw sprockes is alot different from normal hope this helps you :) it does thanks, but im ...

not this time, i already have 2 wheelbarrow wheels lined up. now have a rolling chassis, will post pics soon. the motor is from 1969,thanks jrrdw!

On the flywheel cover beside the spark plug there are 3 sets o8f numbers. The 3rd set, (code), what are the 1st 2 numbers? That tells what year it is.
I'll take a guess at it, some where in between 68-72, it looks rite around them years. Let me know. ok, will do that tonight if i get the chance ...

***UPDATE***

I have the motor running well now, it just needed the points cleaning and a tune-up. will probably do some work in it this weekend.

I'm wondering how your going to mount the sproket on the drive wheel? The idea of useing a old minibike wheel is a realy good idea, to mount a sproket dead center and plum to the rim/wheel, is going to be a true test of patients. Looks like a good start, check out the GO-KART WITH BALLS i'm ...

right, have mostly built the frame, pics:

The briggs and stratton motor, 2hp, ancient, needs work doing on the carb:

no probs there mate....my whole gun is made of metal water pipe!

weird....i knew that. braindead moment. sounds like a good idea actually.

dragon finder wrote:I have had that idea before but I thought of using primer caps insted. So all you have to do is drill a hole so the primer lip stops the primer from falling in the chamber rather than making a nipple.

im not sure that i follow exactly.....primer for what?

right, i got the idea today to make an ignition for a combustion gun out of cap gun ammo. Pretty hard to describe, look at this drawing:

It is sort of like the old percussion ignition, off the old circa 1880 rifles. Anyway ...

I like it. The tires will be fine, but the ride may be a bit bumpy with no suspension. to counteract that, id just lower the tyre pressure a few psi 8)
