    Need help to build starter :)

    After pushstarting my bike for the whole weekend I realized I need a starter

    Basicaly I need someone to help me somehow extend the shaft on a small 7hp engine that I have and mount gokart wheel to it.

    Anyone here can make the extension with the flange on the end?
    Or maybe weld something on the shaft?

    Thx for any help!

    Martin,

    Why not build an axle for the wheel that you're trying to use and then use a belt and pulley to drive it off of the 7hp engine?

    No need to modify the engine and probably a favorable result as the belt will take some of the shock loading off of the crankshaft of the starter engine when you drop the clutch on the Skorpian?

    Did not think about it that way

    Will have to do some reserch if they make pulley for this engine.
    Then maybe use an old gokart axle for the wheel?

    +1 for rybo. Smart guy. Also, just put the starter back on it, it's worth the 4lbs, haha.

    I can't put it back on
    Different crankshaft, so it will not work.

    Ah, silly Triumph rider. They didn't put starters on bikes made in East Germany. It just would have been too easy to make a quick escape!
