Hi Chris
Gearing may be through a trans or torque converter
belt drive (snowmobile) I have a Norton Commando basket case with a tranny
(these bikes were not "unit" engines, the trans is seperate)I imagine using a
smaller bike such as Honda 350cc or so. There are several bike shops
nearby who may have one sitting around I can use as a donor .I read on
Biofuel about someone who put a 10 hp diesel in a Geo Metro. It took all day to
get it up to 55 MPH, but it got well over 100 MPG. So 6 hp ,may be adequate. I
plan on using it as a commuter, as I live 3 miles from work.

Wow, cool. Thats really interesting, i'm big into
engines and mechcanics in general. Will 6HP be enough, or by motorcycle do you
mean large scooter? What about gearing? what bike are you planning on putting
it in?

Ha I guess this is called Synchronicity. I just won this
diesel engine on
ebay and plan on installing it in a motorcycle frame. I
do not have a donor
bike yet, but I do have some ideas.
