Sick Find (Winch Motor)!

Okay if this works i am one lucky muhfugga. The other day i was discussing building a winch with a friend of mine. Then we went skateboarding and we were looking in the back of this building for parts to build ramps and shizzle and i tripped on something. I turned around and BOOM a motor. I was super excited to see if it would work or not, but i don't know, which is the problem. When talking about power of winches all i ever hear is #.#hp and this thing doesn't tell me how much hp it has. All i know is it's a 127cc motor. Do you guys think it will crank out enough power for me? Thanks a bunch!

that would probobly do the job as entry level motorcycles are about 125cc. So i say it will work if it runs.. Cool

@ tripping over your future winch motor. Crazy Eyes

Sometimes I find quarters on the ground, but never a motor. Smash

Did you get it? Does it run?

haha, it was with a bunch of other junk where we usually find shizzle to skate on Very Happy

. I have it in my garage now and i am gonna get a new spark plug and of course a little gas to see if it runs okay within the next few days, i just wanted to make sure it's worth even messing with Smile

Clean out the gas tank and check the carb out. You dont could run inot some headaches just firing it up all willy nilly.

make sure the drive shaft sticks out the side. you need a horizontal shaft out the side for it to work properly. or the carb will tipped on its side and not work right

a horizontal shaft is definately the way to go.

devotid, Done and doner Smile

Today i will probably change the oil and if i get out somewhere i will buy a new spark plug for it. Then give it some gas and see if she'll run. If not i'll find a way to MAKE IT run. Smash

give it a good cleaning before you fire it up.. you dont want to shove all kinds of crap and decay down into the engine
