that is the sprag design clutch

when you put on the brakes it disengages from the pedals

but i need an adittional clutch to disengage from the power train as well

that is why i pointed you to the kits

so that when i brake it not only disengages from the pedals but from the chainbelt too

are there flathead 4 stroke engine kits then? @Bucko

ya the link i sent you

i like the simplicity and visual appeal of vintage flatheads

@Indigo Lucifer another link https://www.bikeberry.com/gas-engine-kits.html

oh yeah i've seen these 4 stroke kits before, although the only issue i have is that they'll look fugly as heck on my vintage bike.

the 2 stroke kits are a maybe

the only beef i have with them is lack of power/speed, but their vintage appear is a definite 10/10

ya 2 stroke is a pain. 4 stroke is better

this is neat

this might be a thing i can do with my dad

most of those engines use babbit bearings. once they wear out. some of the better engines use castiron sleeves

i'll keep that in mind

another possibility is putting a torque converter on my bike

since it is a single speed and has no "reverse" setting

plus i'd like to do a build like this

a vintage type look

@ᶜʳᶦᵗᵗᶻ ok I found it, I'll thinkI have to DM you cause it goes against sever rules

the briggs engines overall have the same architecture as the ones from the 20s through 50s

i hate to interrupt this conversation but - https://twitter.com/MAGAGwen/status/1131582461702475776?s=19

oh thats going to backfire on them dems greatly ...by passing laws on keeping ppl on the ballot by putting up their tax returns
the interesting thing is ...who's really in charge of the irs now...is it the nwo or somebody favorable to the real maga agenda of actually finding out the truth?

this one is from the 40s i believe

@SirW00f fuck california

funny how the designs haven't really changed much in 50-75yrs

@Indigo Lucifer it's several states actually

they're just the latest one

@SirW00f because flatheads are reliable as fuck thats why, the french kept using them through to the 90s

plus plenty of aftermarket parts

makes them cheap to operate and repair

plus many of them are undersquare making them torque monsters

so theres still many industrial uses for flatheads
