CVT situation "A" gives the widest ratio ....In my way of thinking should be the best. Diesels need lots of gears to use their torque band effectively. The rear sprocket ratio should be able to adjust for size of engine and max speed. Question is if tuning of the CVT to the diesel RPM rang...

I just got a shipment of Winsun 13hp and vtwin 22 hp engines. They're listed on my website a1biofuel.net at very reasonable prices. About reliability ..... Two years ago there was a problem with broken cranks. That was due to irregular steel quality and improper hardening processes. Winsun has chang...

New, unused 840cc 22hp v-twin diesel engine A friend bought this engine for building a diesel motorcycle. The project was cancelled. The engine has been sitting for several years in his garage inside the original box. It is in new condition and has never been run. He wants $1000 plus $150 for shippi...

Hey Old Clunker!
Been following your repairs with great interest.
Youy pictures and descriptions have been most generous .... Thank You.

What (again) was the WVO fuel method/mix were you were using?
TnFan

Dude,
Thanks so much for posting the pics and data about your experiments.
I've been following your adventures with great interest ..... I'm sure
there are many others who do the same.
Sincerely, Tnfan

Bearnyc,
Thanks for the tips on how you mounted rubber isolators on a v-twun engine.
What kind of results did you get?
Are they resistant to oil?
TnFan

Try the A1biofuel.net website.
They have a lot of good information there.
They are out of their main stock, but they may
have an oddball V-Twin Punsun or Winsun laying
around that you can get.
TnFan

BearHawk, That's good info about Marshall's being a distributor of IBC CVT's ..... Thanks. I emailed IBC-Tech several times over a year ago and got no reply. I was resigned to trying to call them ... but never did. I'm the guy selling the Pusnsun and Winsuns on A1biofuel.net and have several custome...

Coachgeo ..... Thanks!
How simple ..... I'm so ashamed I didn't think of it.
Just simply ask.
I did learn something new ..... all the chain primaries and
clutches are wet bath. They run in oil.
I've decided that in the interest of simplicity that I'll go
to route of a belt drive and dry clutch.

Here's the donor bike: a 1987 Suzuki GS1000L http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/5126/gs1000la.jpg Fell in love with this bike series as a result of Crazy Jerry's diesel bike project. Been trying to decide between hydrostatic drive and a Harley gearbox for the longest time. Finally settled on Harley be...

I need help selecting a Harley/Ultima Gearbox and related hardware. I have a Suzuki GS1000L that I want to outfit with a Punsun 25hp V-twin and a Ultima type gearbox. I like the bike because it has really good brakes. I figure a heavy diesel bike needs a good braking system.. I could really use the ...

Hey DieselBikin,
Nice fix of your electrical problem ....
a much nicer fix that what I was suggesting ....
Your voltage tests look good .... I'm grateful for the idea
of using the EN500 regulator.
Sincerely, TnFan

Here's some single phase rectifiers that are powerful and easy to mount: http://i462.photobucket.com/albums/qq345/tnfan999/MB254.jpg MB254 25-AMP 400-PRV MDA990-6 30-AMP 600-PRV NTE5326 25-AMP 600-PRV GBPC3506 35-AMP 600-PRV All of these mount on any flat metal surface as heat sink and handle 400 to...

Sam, It might just be the regulator that has died ..... not to worry. The regulator uses a little power even if it is doing nothing ... so taking it out will give your system a little more available power These 10 amp systems are so weak that you may be better off with no regulator at all ..... simp...

Thanks Rover, I'm busy trying to update the website with more information. I hope to have more pages in a week or so. The idea is not to repeat answers to emails over and over again. I'm having to "steal" pics, specs and drawings ..... somthing I'm not proud of .... until I can gnerate my ...

TedV, I tried to send you some private messages about the diesel engines. Sorry, But I can't seem to find the send button. They appear in my outbox but they just won't send. I'm the http://www.A1biofuel.net fellow in Chattanooga and wanted to answer your questions. Would you please email me at A1bio...

Anybody,
I've tried to return privte messages to people but
I can't seem to send them.
They appear in my outbox but I can't find the button
to actually send them.
And then don't appear in my "sent" messages.
Can somebody please help me?
Thanks, TnFan

Thanks BoxerOtto, I guess I'd better get my butt in gear on my website. I'm brand new to html editing so all my stuff is crude. I've discovered that the commercial WYSIWYG editors create very, very,very dirty code. Thats why some pages take so long to load. So I've been doing it by hand and also a f...

TedV, Sorry I didn't see your post for a few days. We are out of Winsuns .... next shipment due in 5 or 6 weeks. We have plenty 10hp and 22hp Punsuns in stock right now. All these engines are set up for industrial use and great in lawn mower or tractor applications. That is where the world wide dema...

Hey Everybody, Diesel-Bike.com is not a new forum ..... It's Crazy Jerry's old forum brought back from a hard drive crash. He lost all his old data and had to start from scratch with new software. It may be best in the long run ..... seems to me that an old forum has too much data for a new reader t...

Industry commonly uses standard "Vibration Isolators" to mount motors in industrial settings. They should be relatively cheap and replaceable.
Here's only one link.
