BEFORE YOU START This manual will teach you how to install a 2stroke engine kit on a bike. Now before we even start, it’s important to know what you’re getting into and what you need for installation to go as smooth as possible. Even though the engine kit is made to be as universal as possible, you bike should have these key features to ensure easier installation: ● Your bike needs to be a standard men’s beach cruiser, road bike, or hardtail mountain bike. ● The seat and down tube diameter should be 2528mm (11.10in) with an open VStyle frame ● The kit should fit most 26 x 1.75in rear wheel with either 12 or 14 gauge 36 count spokes.

INSTALLATION The Rear Wheel Assembly Tools you’ll need: ● 2x 10mm wrench ● an open wrench ● scissors Step 1: Remove the coaster brake arm. If your bike has a rear coaster brake arm attached to the rear wheel, remove it to install the rear sprocket. Make sure not to accidently disassemble the entire rear hub doing so. Once you remove the coaster brake, remove the dust cover. Step 2: Cut a slit in one of the rubber grommets BikeBerry.com 18003170479 5 ...
Page 7
Cut a straight line between any two holes and thread it through the rear hub. Check to see if all the holes are visible through the spokes. If a spoke is covering any of the 9 holes, you will not be able to use that rear wheel. You will have to find a replacement that is compatible. Step 3: Alignment check Place the second rubber grommet outside of the spokes and align both grommets together so the 9 holes match up evenly. Step 4: Align the assembly. This step is the longer and most time consuming portion of the installation. Place the second rubber grommet on top of the 44 tooth rear sprocket. It doesn’t matter which way the 44T sprocket is facing. Then start pushing all 9 bolts through the assembly. Line up the assembly with the rubber grommet inside the hub and thread the 3way plates behind the entire assembly. Make sure one of the 3 plates is placed over the cut made on the first rubber grommet. BikeBerry.com 18003170479 6 ...
Page 8
Add 9 washers on each bolt and thread the 9 nuts hand tight. Step 5: Torquing the bolts and nuts and Truing your sprocket adapter assembly. This is the portion of the installation where it requires the most patience and frequent adjustment when tightening down your assembly. You want to torque each bolt as tight and evenly as possible without bending the spokes. The key is to torque down each bolt in a STAR pattern to keep the the sprocket alignment true. Think of tightening each bolt down in phases, making sure each bolt is torqued down evenly. As you tighten up your bolts each time, keep watch of your center sprocket. Make sure it still stays centered throughout this process or else risk having to untighten and retighten bolts to keep your sprocket centered and aligned. Once it gets tighter and tighter, you’ll notice any overlap you encountered with the metal plates will disappear. BikeBerry.com 18003170479 7 ...
Page 9
Step 6 (OPTIONAL): Reinstall your coaster brake arm. Make sure your coaster brake arm can clear the 9 bolts from your assembly. To make sure it has enough clearance, dryfit your coaster brake arm back to the wheel and rotate it around the bolts. If it clears, then you can use your coaster brake arm. If it doesn’t, we recommend skipping this step and installing caliper brakes. Unfortunately there are some rear wheels that are not compatible with this sprocket adapter assembly. O ur best recommendation is using a BBR Tuning rear sprocket adapter for ease of installation and better coaster brake clearance. Alternatively, you can bend a 90 degree angle into your coaster brake arm to provide clearance. Ultimately, more stopping power is highly recommended. Getting a Rear, Front or both caliper brakes is best for your safety. Step 7: Reinstall the rear wheel and bike chain back on your bike. BikeBerry.com 18003170479 8 ...

Once the sprocket is tight, spin the wheel and check that the sprocket runs true. Deviation can be no more than 1.5mm both ways. Any sidetoside excess deviation can be corrected by spinning the wheel and then tightening the sprocket where needed in order to get correct alignment. Make sure bolts are tight. Notice the concavity or indentation of teeth of the rear sprocket is inward towards spokes. This helps keep the chain closer to the inside of the wheel and spokes and allows for better clearance of the rear stays of the bicycle frame. BikeBerry.com 18003170479 9 ...

MOUNTING THE ENGINE Notes Before Mounting your Engine Engine mounting can go 1 of 2 ways: Easy or Challenging This all depends on your bike frame. Example #1 Easy An old style beach cruiser frame will more than likely be the easiest fit for a Flying Horse or Mega Motors engine kit. Old style beach cruisers have the same size (diameter) top tube, down tube, and seat tube. Another reason why old style beach cruisers are the easiest to install a motor on is because the pedal cranks are centered below the seat post. You’ll know why this is important in a minute… BikeBerry.com 18003170479 10 ...
Page 12
Example #2 EasyMedium New Style Beach Cruisers (from 2005 and on) have larger down tube diameter, larger top tube diameter, and/or forward pedaling crank position. If you have an old style bicycle, please continue reading. If you have a new style bicycle with the following: ● Only a larger down tube, please go to page 12. ● Combination of both larger down tube and pedaling cranks, please go to page 15. Mounting an Engine on Older Style Frames: 1. Remove rear and front engine mount hardware from the engine block. 2. Align the engine block on your frame. 3.

Once it’s threaded through the clutch base screw, thread the extension spring through the clutch cable. 6. Lastly, thread the clutch cable through the clutch arm on the engine. Make sure you unthread the screw that will hold the clutch cable in place. 7. Once you threaded the cable through the clutch arm, make sure you pull on the clutch cable for a stronger tension, while you rethread the clutch screw into the clutch arm. 8. Operate the clutch lever to make sure your clutch arm swings towards the motor. The key for proper installation is making sure the clutch arm is flush with the engine. Once you pull the clutch lever, the clutch arm should move inward towards the motor allowing it to disengage your motor. Once your engine is disengaged, you can pedal freely. With the clutch lever in released, it will engage the motor. Pulling in the clutch lever will have some resistance. This is normal. BikeBerry.com 18003170479 21 ...

10. Install the Idler Chain Pulley. a. When installing the pulley, the first thing you should do is adjust the idler wheel position so that it is aligned. Then tighten it down on the frame. b. Place the idler on the bicycle frame and tighten it down until it is snug. Make sure it’s not too tight where you can’t adjust it. c. While you’re adjusting the idler pulley, keep 2 things in mind: make sure the chain is tight, only providing no more than ½ inch of slack and make sure the chain is aligned straight for proper chain guidance. d. Once you have those 2 things checked, thread the nuts as tight as possible. Use 2 #mm wrenches for each side. While tightening the idler pulley, it will move side to side and off position so we recommend watching out for any misalignment while tightening your pulley down. BikeBerry.com 18003170479 25 ...

Installing the Electrical Assembly There are 3 electrical parts to the engine: The CDI, the Magneto Loop Set, and the Spark Plug. The CDI can be mounted anywhere on the bike as long as it can reach the spark plug. The spark plug is threaded on top of the engine head and the magneto loops set is installed inside the engine. NOTE: When it comes to wiring, you may need to splice your wires together, which involves cutting and stripping the insulation away from the tip of the wires. 1. Remove the spark plug crown before attaching the CDI spark plug cap. WARNING: Fail to remove this crown can damage or ruin the spark plug cap. 2. Once you mount your CDI, install the CDI spark plug cap onto the spark plug. BikeBerry.com 18003170479 32 ...

Use this ratio for your first 4 tanks of gas. After BreakIn Fuel Ratio 24:1 (56oz of oil per gallon of gas) Clutch Adjustment Guide Sometimes the clutch bevel wheel inside the motor are too tight due to manufacturing. This will help free your clutch and adjust your clutch assembly for proper use. When adjusting your clutch, please remember to disassemble your rear drive chain from the engine’s 10 tooth sprocket before continuing. 1. Begin by removing your gear case cover. 2. Remove the locking screw holding in your flower nut. 3. Remove the flower nut. 4. Remove the clutch plate and clutch spring, exposing the clutch bevel wheel. Some models do not include the clutch spring. If your model does not, it’s normal. 2Stroke engine kits do not require it. 5. Make sure the bevel wheel is spinning freely. If it is, you’ll be able to move it with your hand. If it does not, tap the 3 studs counterclockwise gently with a rubber mallet. Repeat until clutch bevel wheel spins freely. 6. Assemble the spring and clutch plate the way it was when you started and tighten the flower nut hand tight. NOTE: The way the clutch works is that clutch arm pushes away from the clutch cover away from the clutch pads, freeing the drive chain. When this happens, you’re able to pedal your bike because you disengaged your motor. When the clutch arm is not pulled in, the clutch plate pushes up against the clutch pads and engages the motor. 7. You must adjust the flower nut so the clutch plate moves ⅛ inches when you disengage the motor. If your flower nut is threaded out more than ⅛ inches, your clutch may slip when attempting to start the engine. If it’s less than ⅛ inches, it will be too tight to disengage. Make sure you adjust it just right. 8. Reinstall the locking screw for the flower nut. Then reinstall the gear case gasket and cover. BikeBerry.com 18003170479 36 ...
Page 38
9. If this was done correctly, your clutch should be able to engage and disengage properly. NT Carburetor (aka the Stock Carb) Adjustment Guide If your engine is under performing, these steps should help you solve those issues. The NT carburetors are vey simple and easy to tune. Figuring out the issue may depend on a few factors. Before attempting any carburetor adjustments, make sure your carburetor is clean of any debris, manifold gasket is in good condition, your fuel filter and air filter are not blocked or clogged, your carburetor manifold is well sealed, and the intake manifold nuts are tight. Now for the NT Carburetor adjustment... There’s only 1 direct method in turning these carburetors: Adjust the EClip connected to your jet needle. It has a series of notches at the top that represents different fuel mixtures. You can remove and reposition the Eclip for any desired position. The top notch is for the leanest mixture and the bottom notch (closest to the needle poing) is the richest. So now you know how to adjust it, the next step is figuring out where to adjust it. One main factor that can affect your carburetor is elevation. The higher your elevation, the richer you need to adjust your clutch. BikeBerry.com 18003170479 37 ...
