Can you post a picture of the engine? I know nothing about tether boats but usually the flywheel is part of a glow engine. Is there an engine that comes with the kit or added seperately?

Wow pretty nice, like I said sorry I know nothing about these engines, there seem to be a lot of parts on ebay but I couldn't find any that looked like a flywheel with collet for a marine engine.
How is the drive shaft supposed to attach to the flywheel, a cable clamp or a u-joint setup? Are you going to use an electric starter instead of the pull string? Then you just need a groove in the flywheel for the starting belt and your collet attached to that. I'm not much help but it's a cool project, if you need some collet ideas to attach the driveline I can point you to what's available.
