Belt guard+++
Looks like the OEM engine still has it's intake and carb. Are you running the injection pump to oil the case bearings?

If the piston/cyl is intact, a check valve in place of the spark plug and plumbing would make a low output/low pressure compressor. Maybe enough to drive an air brush and paint itself - or run a set of air horns.

Now ah don' care who y'are or how much money ya got, tha's some funny stuff rat thar! :)
At 9:1 compression ratio, you'd have something like 135PSI. It could keep its own tires inflated too!

You do make a good point about keeping the bearings lubed, but I guess one could lose the connecting rod and piston altogether and just squirt some oil down the plug hole once in a while.

I hope this was meant to be a joke.

There is no way this piece of $hit runs or moves.

The front pulley is a clutch mounted backwards :confused: with no nut to hold it in place.

The clutch pucks are just flinging around all over the place, with no bell to keep them from flying off.
