Hey man! I really like your build is there any news on it?

Yes, I speak russian. The point is not the water cooling - I rather have it air cooled for simplicity. The main reason is the IDI layout witch gives me more rpm (closer to gasoline) and I thin that I can make it more compact but that is in my dreams right now - lets see how these thoughts evolve ove...

Unfortunately - NO. Bike now sits in workshops top shelf and collects dust but I am not done with it :D Now I am slowly modernizing my workshop - already got big mill and lathe and many other tools - I think that I will go other direction - I will take one piston/rod assembly from VW 1.6 litre engin...

hi man , my build is already on the forum link:
https://www.dieselbikeforum.com/view ... =31&t=1587

I'l PM you about the reasons why I,m asking about NZ Cheers

Hi, are there any member from NewZealand on this board?

so, as I promised - here is the vid of the first test run : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8VaJF5ocys (sorry for the low quality, the video was taken by phone). Now the sad thing is that the engine ran very good last time i tried (here is the vid of the engine prior to mounting it on the bike: http...

The frame, seat, gearbox and rear wheel is frm 1974 russian Dnepr. The front fork, wheel, fender and brakes are from 1988 Kawasaki Vulcan 1500. Handlebars are harley aftermarket, rear fender is from russian bike called IZ Jupiter (pic: http://static1.fotoalbum.ee/fotoalbum/140/190/035095351eb0e3.jpg...

And the pics of semi completed bike, there is still some things to be done - but it's on the finish lino now!!!!

Hi, a little update ;) Hrm.. let the pics speak: DSC00310.JPG DSC00318.JPG fittings to hold the Vulcan front fork: DSC00320.JPG Lots of space under the gas tank to fit 7Ah battery and regulator/rectifier: DSC00321.JPG Accu box and regulator: DSC00332.JPG Fitting a Vulcan stator to the engine: DSC003...

Hi mates, long time no see :D I was off for work , etc, etc, but now I have little spare time now and then. So yesterday I finaly put together my little Yanmar engine and it fired right up. Here's the vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jr9vdP77i_E So I guess that I'm back at the building process :D

talki'n about cut in half engines and diesels made from scrap:

Are you refering to the Injection pump or the fuel pump

probably to injection pump, as thats the only pump on these engines

Yes, the original flywheel is not attached, I am using the Dnepr flywheel/clutch basket at the other end of the crank.

Hi, wanted to notify you that the engine partially runs :D . Yesterday I put it together and it fired up! here are some vids: first start: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNPOxrvH3wE second try: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gbtng8Cl0Vg Engine prior to assembly, with the right "tool" besid...

Hi, just visited a friend who owns a lathe .... :D Now we have made a new "sleeve" from brass with copper gaskets from both ends to accommodate the NEW nozzle, sorry about the pics - remembered to photograph only after the "sleeve" had been made and pressed into the head. link to...

Hi falconbird, thanks for the pic, listen, maybe you know at what pressure these 418cc injectors "pop" and is the spray angle the same as 406cc angle?? If yes, then i think I could manufacture some kind of a thick copper gasket to put between the head and a nozzle to make the tip length ma...

the new nozzle doesn't even fit the engine head

just emailed the seller - lets see what he will reply.

Hi all,

today received long waited nozzle witch I bought at ebay ( http://tinyurl.com/4vyc556 ), wnt to garage and .......... IT WON"T FIT

photo for comparison:

So, this happens when somebody rarely visits his garage This year is crazy, streets are undriveable, city is stacked with snow everywhere

But I'd love to see someone try it!! Heh, looks like I would be the the one to try it out :D ;) Also, if you are going the fan route, use some industrial metal ball-bearing type fan, not a flimsy plastic computer fan. I was thinking of an motorcycle fan, when the cooling fan on my Yamaha TDM comes ...

Was it difficult to grind the crankshaft down to fit the dnepr flywheel? You used a tapered shaft or re-worked a straight shaft? I guess this straight-on assembly is needed to fit the gearbox in the frame.? If you experience problems with this, you can try an ural gearbox, this one is slighlty shor...

Hi Sphere, it's not so bad, when it's made well and warmed up it doesn't smoke at all

the two stroke conversion would be very interesting project anyone up to it?

Yea, it's cold here, about -15celsius :) but it's not so bad - I have wood burning stove so I can get Temperature in the shop to about +15 celsius ant thats is enough for working :) P.S. here's a vid of last winter when I tried to make a used oil heater http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SISZrLE29iE but...

hmm, sorry for the pic quality - taken by phone, anyways - wanted to ask, what do you think about electric blower to cool this engine? I need this because the engine with flywheel is too long and don't fit in the bike's frame, and I don't want to strech the frame because I want to keep it compatible...

So this is the update to build thread As I said earlier - the progress is slow

So here goes the pictures : Any comment and suggestions - welcome
Thanks.

Accidentaly found this while browsing the web, the creator claims this: A 500cc two stroke can easily make some 80 Nt*m (8 Kp*m) torque. At 6000 rpm this torque makes some 50 KW (70 PS). site: http://www.pattakon.com/pattakonOPRE.htm little youtube vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0S3nTc_ogE I k...

Better safe than sorry.

That's true but I will be washing/cleaning the cases anyway prior to assembly
