Hi Paradox, did you build the bike yet? I am planning one with the same drive, if you have any tips on what to do (or not!) please feel free to pass them on.... Also anybody else who has hopefully helpful ideas about this....if there's anyone still using this forum....? Why has it gone so quiet in h...

Hmmm, maybe not very useful though.... Anybody got the Winsun parts manual?

Thanks guys, yeah I found some stuff on the forum too - 479cc and 9 or 10 hp - but runs backwards! Hence the elegant solution your trike builder came up with. Actually I was looking for an engine to modify a lot, so haven't given up on this one completely yet.

Hi dudes, does anyone have any info on the above engine? cc's, hp,... anything? Cheers, Jonny.

Thanks very much Dave (and all). Interestingly, researching stuff around the subject I came across 1 website where it was stated that ally based alloys start to break down at 180C. So I'll be making sure I don't melt my engine

Clever! And you reckon 150C (on a fin) is the right setting to protect the engine?

Ok, great,erm... what do you fix this onto as your heat source? A head bolt (like a cht sensor)?

Hmmm, interesting thoughts Dave, I figured over say 30mph the draught probly equates to the same amount of ventilation that the fixed fan would give? Soo, wtf is a temperature switch? Sounds like the business

Good try guys, thanks... but it's an air-cooled engine. No rads or hoses.

Hi folks,been gone a while but nice to be back again. I took off the engine-driven fan when I built my bike - dnepr with a Lombardini 191. As I understood it from old land rover days, it was thought (maybe wishful thinking) that the old setup could take up to 25 per cent of the power,so an electric ...
