I've got 2 4.5hp engines to do whatever I want with. Both need a little work but nothing I can't fix. I just saw the pic of the bike with the engine on it, that would be pretty cool but these engines are a little big. Ideas? |

The only problem I see with the bike is that it will require me to do some major modifications as well as somehow putting a clutch on it. There is no way I will use my good bike now, and the only other decent bike I have is 16". I'm going to draw up an idea in Inventor for the hovercraft. I've built successful ones before (help a little over 100 pounds easily) with leaf blowers. These are lawn mower engines BTW. |

Three words: Not enough power. Unless you want me to build an RC plane, though I still doubt it would work. |

| Yeah, I don't see how you even need to consider what to do with an engine like that. |

| Either a 2 engine go cart. I was going to make one, but I didn't have all the stuff needed to get it started and I was trying to make it as low cost as possible. I say, if you are really good at this kind of stuff, make a RC car. |

| I gotta go with magnum on this one... Bar Stool Racer. You can make two for pretty cheap, then race them. |

| The only potential problem is that these are vertical shaft engines. Could I turn them and run them on their sides (with a little modification, such as oil and gas tank location)? |

Question are the engeins vert shaft or horizontal shaft? Second what are the out put shaft diameters 5/8", 3/4" or 1"? And lastly have you got any welding skills at all? I myself made a kinda bike thing a few years ago with a 5hp horizontal shaft engine from a preshure washer. I had a 1" shaft go-cart clutch but my engine was only a 3/4" shaft so i made a adapter on the poor mans lath (aka screw driver and a bench grinder  ). Anyways the bike worked ok and after i sorted out the gearing it did a GPS recorded speed of 50km/hr. I built it for a charity compatition so the rules kinda hindered me A LOT. I am hoping to build another one soon but A lot better quality. But here is a pic i had a video but for some reson its been deleted  ------------- AGD 68 Automag Azodin KPII Sheridan PGP2K Tippmann Crossover XVR Tippmann ProCarbine Tippmann SL68-II Tippmann TiPX |

Forget these engines! Bearclaw has inspired me to build an electric powered bike. It shouldn't be too difficult and it will be a lot easier than some of the other things mentioned.. Not to mentioned it's a lot more practical than driving a hovercraft around in Daytona Beach. |

I say you screw all of the ideas you have had so far and build a plane to fly the forumers to the ukon, and since I had the idea of using the engines for this, I call first passenger.
