Duh Me!!! I been working on this lil project since winter on and off, I stretched the jackshaft brackets approx 1.5" so I could fit a Comet 2 speed in there and clear the swingarm.... Ok that went fine... I sat the frame aside and built the engine, 5hp Gold I/C, precision cam, arc rod, 3hp alum flywheel, milled head, modified Horstman intake, vm22mm mikuni carb, ported and polished, hd valve springs, locks, retainers... I modified a 3hp tank and bracket to fit the 5hp... That all went good.... Now the troubling part... (1) I ddnt test fit the tank to the frame so the gas cap is under the top frame bars....:censure:.....I can unscrew the cap but I'll have to fill the tank with a funnel....:doah:...... (2)The other problem is I didnt test fit the engine to the frame with the 2 speed, I'll have to set the engine off to the right side slots in the frame so the clutches line up because this I/C has a longer crank with a wide step between the clutch and side cover resulting in the recoil pertruding over the right foot peg....
Here are my options that I can think of..
(A) Use a standard clutch and single gear on the JS so I can set the engine to the left more
(B) Put a different engine like a clone or a 3hp Briggs on the bike with the 2 speed
(c) Run it like it is and deal with the tank and offset on the engine
Any suggestions will be welcomed.. but please done give me :001_9898: because I modded the frame... I actually did this bike a favor, it was a Rotting pos when I got it......
