So I figured I made a thread about my project
This is something that's new for me as I rarely work on a 2x6 let alone a 2x4 ts but here goes.
At work we have a scrap ts frame with a blown gearbox and has been used for parts.
I asked my boss if i could take it as a project and he said yes.
rebuiding the gearbox and motor would cost too much for what is basically already a non road legal machine and I don't know what else is wrong with it.
The only option now is a bike engine.
So what's the plan?
I will be searching for a 650 to 1000cc engine and swapping that with the fe290 powerplant and gearbox.
How?
Don't know yet 😛
But I've been having ideas about putting in a 2x6 sprocket on the axle and putting a go kart axle between the 2 shafts.
Maybe even putting a jackshaft between it and the engine so I can play a bit more with the gearing since I'll be limited on the engine side and can't change the axle side.
I'll be starting work gutting it next week and pics will follow then
