Aiming to test fire Tuesday evening. have to wait til after doctor visit. things not well. need muscle power since I don't have a pull starter to fit a Zenoah g23lh and the initial firing is a PITA. going to pull engine back off in meantime to make sure it is all tight as it should be. alighn the 3rd bearing support, make sure its where it should be. and is TIGHT. and rig a kill switch. odds are ill use my guarded toggle switch I harvested from ms piggy.

Come on now - more pictures of what you are doing.

heres what I have to put on. well don't HAVE to put on, but makes setup a lot easier.
the pull start goes in place of blockoff plate. which I had installed. but if engine is stubborn, the pull start helps.
the pull start mounts here.

next I want to get 2 other pieces. a long 700 or .725ish spindle. long so I can use 3rd bearing support and save engine innards. and a proper kill switch.
the spindle

today was a full day. Doctor at 10am, atty at 11am, ER from 12pm to 7pm dinner, then final assy of the minipig need to find a pull starter for the engine. will try and start without it since a sport is friction drive/direct drive. wish me luck.

luck!

she WILL run, its just the wakin her up that I dread lmao.  doc advised me to keep leg elevated. did I listen? no. I worked from 815am to a tad after 6. the spindle is rated for a 29cc not a 23. but it will work fornow. may grab a 625/650 or a 710. and save the 850 for a larger engine come tax time. looking forward to the firing. was aiming for this evening, but a blood pressure headache, or migraine?, I didn't care for nothing lol. so am going to fire it tomorrow after work. in carport since its calling for rain. and spindle goped do NOT like water at all.

ill have to get my hands on a pull start. the 850 spindle isn't allowing for a good push. engine has HEALTHY compression. my chevrolegs however aren't cooperating. since the ER yesterday . so ill BOLO a pullstart for a g23lh pullstart. may try drillstarting it for giggles on the stand.

Contemplating selling my trailtech vapor. to fund the completion of the minipig.  just 2 parts I lack, well 1 really. but to run it properly I should put a smaller spindle on too. but I need the pull start.  and then a long .710 spindle.  so I can make use of the third bearing support and not tax my crankshaft.

need to finish build NOW. doctor ordered me off my feet which I cannot afford to do so walking has to be minimised. so I AM selling the trailtech vapor for 45 shipped. which is less than half of retail. has the temp pickup, and the feed for tach.  the rest of the leads are available as is the mount for probably what im asking for this unit. it would be great for projects. bicycles, scooters, motos, etc etc etc. even a gs500

this trailtech has a hardwire option, and a battery backup. here they are with the backlight off and on, ( and powered up. )
off:

backlight on:

ordered starter, a .710 spindle, and a fuel line return fitting. may have stuff by Monday
P.s. the trailtech vapor is sold. will be enroute Monday.

Been off the comp for a bit going through some bs on this end.. Glad to see the pig is nearing a test start!! Hope the legs start cooperating for ya soon. Get some good rest and don't overdo it too much!

Sent ya a pm on the vapor

hard tire peds are a rough ride. aka therapy lol. also as responsive as a Ferrari. there is NO slack on anything. your gs has driveline slack the mopeds do, anything chain drive  does. take all that out and its instant start or stop.

parts will be here monday. used a coupon got free 2 day shipping. well not free but no addl charge.

p.s  ordered the starter, a .710 spindle the long one so i can use my 3rd bearing support, and a fuel line return fitting. love ddm.  theyre like tigerdirect. ship quick and fast. dont have to pony up the extra money for expidited shipping.

Alright ill be damned. parts arrived today. 2 days earlier than planned. DDM rules. anyhoo doing what work I can. cause im battling either another UTI or chronic appendicitis. hurts to turn wrenches. but am doing what I can. got starter mounted, and return fitting mounted too. removing engine to install the drive spindle. here is the pic of the proper spindle. one size up from stock:
it had a new .850  spindle. which im saving for a 29cc engine this is a .710
next the starter and the cheesy ddm sticker. theyre getting some props. they gave me 2 day shipping yet charged me for slo-mo. aka 6 day or so so theyre getting some press time
[img]http://www.gs500.net/gallery/uploads/9/710_spindle.jpg[./img]meh gs500 doesn't like .710 spindles. after the pain subsides ill try putting it in, then taking pic

and the billet of course. hell it came with the ped. btw weed. you sell anything small enough that I could fit onto this thing? ill work out the powering issues no need for concern on your end.
Aaron.
Anyhoo the pic:

That thing is going to scream.

I've had my eye out for a pipe, but the good ones are going quick. Gopedders must be building their winter projects as well!

bingo. the only thing i need is a mounting sleeve.  ( easy to obtain) but da***t not on the cheap side. @ $75 shipped

motohuffy got a shot of life support recently. with imminent shop ownership change, was offered a commercial grade rigid pressurewasher which I promptly snagged for its engine.an almost brand new 6.0hp subarusince bicycle riding wont be easy like it used to, I can build motohuffy up as a trike. got the trike frame sitting in my carport. bolt engine to it, bolt that assy to the huffy after removing rear tire.,  connect throttle, and im done. well clutch and chain too lol. but it will be the minipigs backup or used for cargo. or rainy days.

WELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL, after a rudimentary carb adjustment, the minipig runs. sort of. almost better than noworries mouth. then she stops. no biggie, ill dial the carb in after a fresh plug and go from there. looking forward to initial test ride. cept I don't have a kill switch. being a direct drive, that's a requirement. if I can locate my guarded toggle switch, that will suffice.
