Motorcycle Repair: Honda Z50 motor, honda z50, honda engines
QuestionHello,
I recently bought a Honda Z50 motor for a minibike project that I am working on. Sad to say I am a bit ignorant when it comes to bikes though, if you can consider a minibike a bike. I have a few questions on this motor though. It would appear that there is an electrical wiring, just one wire, coming out of the motor. I am under the impression that it's not needed for the bike to run considering that it's a kick start and most small engines don't need a battery. What's it for? I can only assume that it's for a headlight or something. Another question: does this motor need a transmission or can I just run it off of a centripital clutch with a chain direct to the wheel? If it does need a transmission, I see no place to bolt one on...so is it internal? Well that's all I really have for now. Thank you for your time.
God Bless
-Jack
AnswerHi Jack,
Thanks for the Blessing, Sir.
Unfortunately, I have no experience with these Honda engines.
Try contacting the minibike manufacturer or Honda and inquire about a service manual or other technical data assistance.
God be with you.
