ive got my new engine running...

on a bench .. 8)

ive spent a bit of time building it up from a rebuilt short engine, it has no leaks, ive changed the points,set the valves,done the timing,tuned the carb.. and im pretty chuffed with it ...

Nice one Art B, your doin it right , checking it out on the bench 1st,i knew of a guy who pulled and stripped/rebuilt and refitted his z engine(motorbike) couldnt now get 1st gear , he pulled ,stripped and refitted said engine3 times before he bothered 2 look in the manual which informes anyone that you have to have the engine running to successfully engage 1st gear ! good stripdowns/successful rebuilds take quality planning (in my op. anyhow)

 

Sounds good (although idle speed could mebbe do with a tweak-up ) !

Love the mains light switch starter button

 

cheers guys it has an engle 110 camshaft so its a bit lumpy,

and its all new so it may need a tweak when its run in....

 

Would've thought a 110 would be ok (but nothing hotter). Mr weeding might have a view on this...

Very tidy engine - is it still a 1600?

 

Looks good art

 

Nice work...you now have the fastest bench in town

 

he he he ..

i did have to put a brake on one wheel to stop it moving... O0

 

Have you run the cam in Art?

 

hi guys... :-*
yup broke the cam and followers in,
with 3 x 10 minute runs at 2500 rpm..

the tappets are set spot on at the moment,
tbh in real life the engine sounds great... i just turned the idle down a bit, 8)

i have just got an oil bath filter this weekend at brighton and will get it set up with the crankcase breather when it goes in the bus,
