Homemade Freewheel
I have an old beater bike that I just painted and it had coaster brakes and a hand brake. I took the coaster brake off but now if I pedal backwards and then pedal forward there is slack somewhere. When I pedal forward it takes about a half of a crank for it to engage after pedaling backward. I've already hit my knee of the stem 2 or 3 times. How can I fix this?

You cant fix it, there aren't any pawls in it, its more of a clutch if you will.

depending on the type of coaster hub you can put spacers in between the bearing and the clutch so it engages quicker.

But you could try. Just take it apart and pull the axle out. Watch this video for help:

How is it not worth throwin a spacer or two in. That would take almost no effort.
