*EDIT*
I have located a Briggs & Stratton 2hp motor to power it, and have changed the plans around a bit. Read on a bit before posting

Making a Scooterhi there, im looking to make a CHEAP motorized scooter. I was thinking of a chainsaw or weedeater motor mounted on the body,with a chain drive to the back wheel. Any ideas? Ive google searched,and can't really find anything of great help. Any input appreciated,thanks.

The chainsaw idea sounds cool, but i don't know what the sproket looks like and also you probably wouldn't get much power from it. The weedeater also probably won't have enough power to pull a person unless you get a beast of a weedeater. Do you already have the frame you want to put everything on? Why don't you make a minibike instead of a scooter because you can fit a bigger engine on it.
would the clutch hold up to the strain of pushing me? i weogh about 85 kilograms......

Are you making the frame of metal? I would think the clutch would go for a little but wouldnt last very long.
yup,metal frame. i priced a "nifty 50" scooter motor,and the dealership wants $250 for it! i might have to start looking in the secondhand pages for an old scooter to hack......at least the motor would work.

You can weld? Thats sooo cool i wish i could weld or at least some one i know. Yeah try ebay or some where else and look for some old scooter engines.
i dont use ebay, my parents wont use credit cards. and yes,i can weld. its easy when u get the hang of it.

Thats a bummer becasue I just saw a 50cc engine for $70 on ebay. oh well maybe you can get it from a swap meet or something.
Go to http://www.aaroncake.net he has a homemade scooter, go cart and everything! His uses a stardard briggs and stratton mower engine.
