Hi guys,
I have had this Greyhound engine in my shed for just about a year now and am finally gonna use it on a project. After reading through this thread tho I'm wondering 2 things:
1. You guys who are posting of RPMs, Are those ACTUAL running RPMs? As in, you are reading this off of a tach while riding. I'm curious/skeptical if the engine will actually hold on to 3600 going down the road pushing a 26" wheel or even the 4000-4500 RPM some are claiming (ungoverned). I could see it in a case like that last post on a pusher trailer with the small go cart or mini bike wheel.
2. Has anyone seen a performance chart for these engines? I wonder where peak torque and peak power bands are in that 3600 RPM range? No performance data in my printed material. I haven't been able to locate anything else on the web either.
