i have a craftsman 25 cc weed wacker engine and i want to put it on my old electric scooter but there is no shaft for me to put a sprocket on how can i still use this engine and what should i do to make a shaft to put a sprocket on.
You can’t use engines without shafts to connect to a drive unit. If a motor doesn’t have a shaft extending out of the crankcase, you can’t use it to drive anything. Some Honda motors are like that: you have to change the crankshaft to use them in other installations.
It’s a mixed fuel tank, and it can only hold less than half of a gallon of gas. And since go-peds suck up gas like there’s no tomorrow, I was wondering if anybody knew how to minimize my gas useage without minimizing my scooter usage?
(1) make sure you have enough air in the tires.
(2) don’t go open throttle all the way.
(3) don’t accelerate open throttle - accelerate slowly
I know its not what you want to hear but that is what it takes. The #1 (if you have pneumatic tire) is especially important.

You might want to consider getting a bicycle with engine conversion. They can be mounted on TREK type (over the back wheel) so they can look cool and yet get close to 200 MPG (those are real numbers - not theoretical).
Good luck…
Im having trouble finding out what kind of battery without opening it this Chinnese scooter. I dont even know where it is to begin with.
These batteries are all 12 volt, usually 4 to 7 amp hour capacity, and can interchange between either wet lead acid or sealed gel mat type. If you Google the markings on the current battery you will find the capacity and size but even this is not necessary because most are coded with the amp hour capacity right in the part number, the voltage is marked, and you can measure the overall dimensions. In essence just get the biggest battery that will fit in the battery box and you’re all set. Just take the old battery down to Walmart and match up one of approximately the same size. If the replacement is slightly larger just be sure it fits not only the battery box but also within the height limitations of available space on the bike. In some very rare instances when the battery cables are very short you must be cognitive of the polarity arrangement to ensure the cables will reach the proper terminals.
From large industries to the average homeowner, gasoline powered small engines are widely used to complete major and minor tasks all over the world. Lawn mowers, air compressors and pumps are among the most the popular equipment that utilizes this machinery. They also power ATVs, motorcycles, scooters and certain light aircraft. For household mechanics, knowing the basics of a gasoline powered engine can help better maintain your equipment and help you trouble shoot potential issues that may arise.
What is a Gasoline Powered Small Engine?
These systems are also known as an internal combustion engine. To run these engines, a spark created when the ignition is switched on creates an explosion as it comes into contact with the gasoline in the combustion chamber. Gasoline is a slow burning combustible liquid that becomes explosive when it mixes with air. This explosion is what gives the engine its power. There are a number of parts within these engines that make this entire process work efficiently.
Small Engine Components
1. Fuel System
The fuel system is made up of several other components. The fuel tank stores the gasoline until it enters the carburetor. A fuel pump removes the gasoline through a fuel line into the carburetor. The carburetor then mixes the required volume of air and gas in proper proportion to create the necessary energy. Inside the carburetor, a small filter collects small particles of dirt and sediment that may clog or dirty the fuel.
A primer is used to inject a small amount of extra gasoline into the carburetor to create a higher fuel intensity and stronger spark. This is usually used when weather conditions are cold or the small engine vehicle has been sitting for a long period of time.
2. The Ignition System
Combustion cannot take place if the spark needed to create the condition is not ignited. The ignition produces a high voltage spark that sets off the combustion needed to start the engine. A battery is used to activate this and a spark plug provides the catalyst in which current can flow.
3. The Cylinder Block
Combustion takes place in the cylinder block. Within the combustion chamber, the heat released by the chemical reaction creates a high-pressured gas environment. As this pressure force is pushed to the pistons of the engine, it causes the crankshaft to rotate.
4. The Cooling System
Because of the large amount of pressure and fuel reactions, gasoline small engines produce a large amount of heat. To keep them running efficiently, a cooling system must be in place. These engines are usually cooled using metal fins that push cool air across the system. Bearings are also used to bring down the amount of friction on the engine, thus reducing the amount of heat generated when it is running. Additionally, regular maintenance that includes oiling and cleaning filters will keep the engine heat down and the machine’s efficiency up.
There is a lot more that can be learned about the inner workings of a gasoline-powered small engine. However, the basic mechanics of these machines can be broken down to some basic fundamentals in vehicle engine construction. What everyone should remember about small engines is this: Take the time to understand the basic workings of your lawn mower, golf cart, motorcycle, snow mobile or other small engine vehicle so that you can better maintain and prevent breakdowns in the future.

Hello im 14 and i was just wondering if im allowed to ride my 43cc gas scooter on public roads and streets and roads without getting in trouble? If not is there any i can make it so i can? im in pennsylvania
Please don’t do this. Do you have any idea how annoying it is for everybody around you when you go buzzing through our neighborhoods with one of those incredibly LOUD pieces of crap? Every time I hear one, I want to kill the kid riding it.
As soon as you start your quest to determine whether an electric scooter or a gasoline powered scooter will ideally suit your requirements, you will quickly become aware of the various differences concerning them. There are crucial dissimilarities that need to be considered previous to making a final choice on what style to buy. Just because your neighbor has a scooter that you really like doesn’t mean a similar scooter will be best for you. Your desires and needs will not be the same as someone else’s. You will have distinct reasons for buying a scooter and these reasons must be addressed if you expect to make a smart buying choice.
Scooters mean different things to different people. Some will use a scooter to drive to their job each day while others will use it for quick trips to the neighborhood grocery store or for other close-to-home tasks. And then there are some people that will buy one merely because they are exciting to drive. Prior to making an ultimate buying choice it is crucial to establish your purposes for buying one.
An electric scooter will almost certainly be your primary choice if your only priority is purchasing the cheapest transportation available. Instead of guzzling expensive gasoline they merely require a battery recharge that will cost just a few cents. Gas Powered Scooters will be more expensive to run due to the fact that they operate on gasoline. On the other hand, gasoline powered scooters have a greater range, which means you can drive much farther without needing to refuel. When examining expenses it’s crucial to realize that a gasoline powered scooter will usually require more upkeep and repairs. This will boost the cost of using a gasoline powered vehicle when compared to a dependable electric vehicle.
It’s easy to tell the difference between the two types of scooters just by the noise or lack of noise they produce. Electric scooters are noiseless while gasoline engines create a lot of noise. But noise isn’t always a negative issue. The additional noise that a gas powered engine creates can help make it safer for the driver. Electric scooters can often go unnoticed by other drivers, but the noisier gasoline powered scooters can be heard and consequently noticed more easily by nearby drivers. If safety is your main priority this will probably be an essential aspect in the decision-making process.
If you are concerned about the environment electric vehicles will not give off any destructive gasses during operation. There are no detrimental emissions except for a tiny quantity when charging the battery unit. However, gasoline powered vehicles add pollution to the atmosphere.
A gasoline powered scooter has one clear advantage, which is their maximum speed. Many models can reach speeds higher than 100 mph. Why someone would want to go that quickly is not understood by me, but the speed is there if needed. This allows gasoline powered scooter riders to go just about anyplace on any street. Even the high-speed highways can be driven with a gasoline scooter.
Electric scooters have made great strides with their maximum speeds, but they are still far behind gasoline powered varieties. Their top speed is around 30 mph, but it is rising higher all the time. One day they will without doubt reach speeds as high as gasoline models, but if you want to ride on roads that compel speeds faster than 30 mph you might be obligated to buy a gasoline powered scooter.

During the summer ill need one. I live in a very hilly area but ill never travel more than 2-3 miles at a time.
Even a 50cc Chinese scooter can run you $500.00, and goes about 35mph on flat roads. My concern is the "hilly area". Don’t expect 35mph on inclines.
I am talking about something like a Go-Ped i live in a hilly area and would never ride it for more than 2-3 miles at a time
try this link.
good luck
