Nice. I haven't worked on my buggies much this year, but if I ever get the time and good weather I will.

Added some tube
![]() Thought I'd mount the engine to the chassis and cut the engine in half in order to get the gear box on the same axis as the swingarm pivot ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by 707offroad; 05-21-2018 at 01:50 PM. |

Took some measurements off the old swingarm and temporarily mocked up the new rear shocks
![]() ![]() I had some rusted box tubing I wanted to use to make a new swingarm ![]() ![]() Decided to try to remove the rust with electrolysis. I used a little battery charger and mixed up a solution of sodium carbonate and water to remove the rust. ![]() Last edited by 707offroad; 05-21-2018 at 02:00 PM. |

After thinking about it for a year I concluded that i should go a different route with the engine. I had a new in the box Chinese 200cc 4 stroke 5 speed manual with electric start that I bought for another project and decided to use it on this buggy project.
I started by making an engine cradle mount with a jackshaft. This gave me tons of gearing options and gave me the clearance I needed for the shifter linkage. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I couldn't find a shaft mount sprocket that matched the pitch of the countershaft sprocket on the engine so I made my own out of two sprockets. ![]() I had to anneal the larger sprocket in order to bore out the id. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Glad to see this posted here. The other site doesn't seem to be working, and I want to see this project when it's done.

Pretty cool, been looking to do the same motor swap on my son's 150. I'm old school and just like a good manual gears over a CVT.
