I get carried away,
'I like to have lot's going on in my little workshop' (it's a mess!).
It's The start of our WET season here, so not much to do outside a lot of the time and very little bike riding going on.
So, I've left one of my motorized bicycle complete, The Phantom' a lovely little 24" BMX/Racer Hybrid, Designed by a small OZ Bike building company 'Fourty Bikes'.
She's in a state of tune that will pull from a dead stop with no peddles to 9000 RPM and around 70Kph. She's still not run in, and I'm very happy with the way she works other than a little pinging above 8000 but I don't need to be doing those revs on her, she's a buzz and right in her 'band' between 40-60 Kph. Which is really all a push bike should be doing.
Point Being,
I've pulled everything else apart!
And I'm running out of room!
Motors are one of those things, the sooner they go back together as opposed to being left collecting sawdust, cockroach ****, and rust, the better.
So I need to dedicate a bench to engines here, I need to put 4 Ht's together, as well as a pocket bike motor, scooter motor, chainsaw motor, Re-ring a 500 Quad, Find out what makes the old 250 Quad motors start to rattle?, Rebuild a Carby for my Suzuki Sierra (Sameri), then theres the blown head gasket on my diesel mower..., there's lots of stuff I should be doing.
But I just love building bikes, I love it so much, I put 'em all together, ride 'em around a bit, them pull 'em all apart swap this to this bike, that to that bike, you know how it goes.
I'm going to start though with my Ht motors, I have five.
Three are all ready in bits and once I sort out a bench, The other one is coming apart as well. There's nothing wrong with it, in fact it recently got a barrel upgrade and does 80Kph. However The bike it's in is old it don't have good brakes..
I just want the barrel for my Soft Tail motor. As it has the 40mm inlet to match my intake.
Again point Being,
So I plan to build 3 very different motors at the same time, and therefore figure this may be worthy of a thread.
I just havn't decided yet which bit goes with what...
