What's really cool is what I had to give for my engine and a parts
engine... I traded a free motorcycle for both engines and $50. I did
deliver the bike, might have used $5.00 worth of diesel doing that.

What kind of RPM's are on that thing? I looked at some of the other units
like it on youtube and you can practically see each exhaust stroke.

The engine is a 2 cycle hit and miss type, it only fires enough to keep
the RPM's in the correct range. They're rated at 3/4 hp @ 1000 RPM's.
The engine will draw in fuel / oil mixture during the "miss" cycles.
When it fires, you hear the pop and see the puff of smoke.

Being a hit and miss engine is why this bike will have pedals to get it
started moving, and a variable pitch pulley for speed changes. No
throttle needed.
