I was going to do this, since I can stick weld, and the ends of my pipe there were rusting out anyway and I needed to reinforce them. Unfortunatly, after I refurbed the engine, I stuck it on a gocart instead and played with that for a while. I was missing some critical parts on the Baja Heat I bought for $50 that had been rotting away against a fence. Derusted and restored most of it. Built a cart out of a Walmart flat pull cart by flipping it over and adding an axle and some HF gocart inflatable wheels in the center and a trailer hitch. Added ball to my lawnmower so I could pull it with that too. Cart didn't turn out very useful for being pulled with either.. but rather, was a lot more useful as a hand cart with a handle added to it. It's just too much trouble to fire up anything and get it running when you want to move something.
@@adamssmallengines I'm thinking I might make an electrical bike out of mine. All I need it to do is go from one end of the block and back again, but always be ready to go without a moments notice. Stick a big old car battery where the engine use to be and a chinese motor kit under the seat. the trick would be a quick connect and disconnect to some trickle charger and a shed to park it in out of the rain.
Instead of just doing a sprocket, you should also do a torqueconverter, I buy all mine for Amazon they work great, don’t pay more then 60$ for one, for the Baja to get the torqueconverter to fit you just have to rise the motor a inch, I took square steal tubing, cut it to 5 in in length, and marked where I needed to drill the holes with paint and a q-tip it works great! I get wheelies with the stock sprocket!
I have had many torque converter and they all go through belts too fast and with the conditions I put stuff thorough they slip when wet so I don’t really like them. I’ve had centrifugal clutches underwater and they still engage and disengage.

Pretty simple just make sure to not burn though the pipe with a stick I used a mig

@@choppergirl sounds like a good plan, I don’t mess with electronic stuff but I think it would be a cool think to do.
