healthkit 2speed keep or remove to 1speed????

[minibiketimmy]

Title says everything. Im thinking about removing.the 2speed to get increased speed with a 1speed...

How fast do you plan on going on this bike ?:shrug:

isnt the whole point of a 2 speed to get more speed than one? If you want more top speed then just put on a smaller rear sprocket. then youll be able to reach a higher top speed and still have the 1st gear for good takeoff and low speed riding

 

[Brooklyn Bob]

I agree with jeep2003. If the 2 speed is in good working order you might as well keep it. Change out that rear sprocket.

You can just get a sprocket for the jackshaft in front of the rear sprocket with more teeth on it and your speed will increase.

What motor are you running on it ? I personally have a boonie with a clone on it.. and my sprocket sizes are 12, 12,14 72 . And it pulls like a horse and is pretty damn fast

If you are running a flat head Then you might just want to stick with the 2 speed

 

[minibiketimmy]

Out of lack of knowledge I got rid of the 2speed not knowing the info you guys provided, I'm currently runny a 5hp tecumseh witch pulls HARD but I just wanted to know if I made the right decision by gettting rid of the 2speed and I had the original Briggs but I left it at a lawnmower repair shop ALSO not knowing I could've restored it!!!!! ut::shrug:

 

[jeep2003]

hope you kept those two speed parts

 

[minibiketimmy]

GREATTTTT NEWSSS, I thought I did throw them away butttt I searched and.found it.in my garage :bsup:

It's kinda stiff though:shrug:

 

[jeep2003]

thats not a 2 speed just a plain jackshaft

 

[leathernun666]

Yes without that Jack shaft you are screwed you need to keep that.

 

[minibiketimmy]

:censure: wow, so this doesn't do much? Huh

 

[leathernun666]

Without it You will be burning up clutch's left and right... you need it ! Trust me

 

[chatten63]

that is the correct boonie jackshaft ,your missing the second gear assembly and sprocket.Don't get rid of it,see about going back and getting that original 5hp briggs back too from the shop you left it at if it is still there. Maybe with luck someday the parts you need will show up someplace and then you can get your 2 speed back together.this is what your missing on the shaft

 

[leathernun666]

I do have the big sprocket I think, and a 5hp briggs all feshly painted I could part with if interested.:thumbsup:

 

[minibiketimmy]

I'm might eventually get the two speed back but for right now I'm going to make a chain tensioner with just the clutch and rear sprocket. My clutch keeps coming loose and I didn't really ride it. Idk if its the clutch/sprocket alignment :shrug:

 

[leathernun666]

Been there done that.... you don't want to do that. Put the jack shaft on it at least. I've had 6 boonies And I've tried almost every configuration possible..... Because most of them are missing that piece.. And if you wont take my word for it I will definitely buy that off of you:laugh:

 

[minibiketimmy]

Okay, I take tht advice....prob until I pop my clutch lol :laugh:

 

[leathernun666]

When I get back home I will gladly take any pictures for you If you want to know how to set it up and get the most out of it:thumbsup:

 

[minibiketimmy]

Ok, that sounds greatt...THANKSS :thumbsup:
