we picked up this machine that sat for a long time due to its engine being bad. after looking into the original motorcycle engine to see if we could fix it and found that it was no good, it was time to make our own drive train. lets see if what we came up with will work.

    I really enjoyed this project. I just wanted to say if the front sprocket has the same number of teeth as the original one on the original engine then you should be fine leaving the original size sprocket on the jack shaft since both engines probably have about the same rpm redline. Or close enough to work anyway.

    5/11 videos in and I just now noticed that this thing does not have any kind of propeller. Just the tires as paddlewheels.

    You are incredible! What an excellent job. I had a difficult time envisioning where you were going with the new engine but I have to say it came out beautiful! Having spent many hours in the tiny engine room of my 37' sailboat, I'd like to suggest that you paint the engine compartment and give it the finishing touch. I used white, marine two part epoxy that was durable and brightened up the otherwise dark space.
