@427carguy has/had an AMR500. that would work a treat at a 1:1 ratio.

Yes exactly. so youll want your crank pulley to have 1.5 times the circumference of the pulley on the super charger.

Yes yes yes. Perhaps oldschool needs a belt driven inlet manifold thread. I'll share some general blower guff wit ya all. the super abridged version is, a four stroke engine breaths half it's swept volume per revolution. (In yourcase, 600 divided by two being 300cc) on an NA engine, on the intake cycle the engine breathes in air at atmospheric pressure. (14.7psi at sea level) A supercharger is just a pump. (techincally so is an engine) By either using a supercharger which displaces more air than the engine, or overdriving the supercharger to shift more air than the engine displaces, the engine will intake a larger Mass of air than it otherwise would. as this air is mixed with fuel, more power is made. Boost, is a term often bandied about. Boost is only a measure of the resistance between the supercharger, and the cylinder of the engine. Things like a very good or very poor flowing intake tract can effect this. Given you have 300cc per rev, and AMR300 driven at 1:1 would net a boost figure of zero. (Assuming your engine has 100% volumetric effeciency, and your supercharger moves it's advertised volume. (no wear and tear/no losses through belt slip etc) If you drove it at double crank speed, youd feeding the engine twice the air it could otherwise take. Would would be a theoretical one bar. Thats an awful lot of boost for such an old engine. So perhaps 1.5 times overdriven would be a safer "starting point" Thats the abridged version.

Total? Any chance of breaking that down per day? I found the motu to be pretty wounding last time. The gravel section past matawai wasnt quite as taxing.

I'm not sure what to make of that?

I prefer to do it with the wheel on. You've got lots more feel when you're rocking the wheel.

Nah leave that until late November. It's the old school way.

Slow and reeeeeally slow?

You riding or supporting this year Max? Please bring more Tuna bombs.

Also once you've got that Cabin locked in Ben, lemme. Know the damage. (Tick the box for linen too, less luggage the better) Id like to know how.much money to.ferret away each week.between now and then.

That's Saturday no?

I had a look on their booking page. The fishermen's cabins are lots closer than the chalets. I've only got a debit card, and I don't have enough money in the bank to book one myself. #brokenarselyfe

The Lake Whakamerino lodge is booked out that weekend. My dreams of a hot roast and a cooked brekkie are dashed against the jagged rocks of dispair, If someone books a cabin at Waikaremoana camp ground, I'll be keen to buy a bed. @Beaver? You'd be up for the challenge no?

Ive got dibbs on being little spoon.

Keen as a bean. I'll even pay you on the day this time. (Not three months later when I Remember)

Any wounders wanting to bring a bike across, heres the selection I looked up just now. Blue bridge is a tiny bit cheaper, but their sailings are timed better IMHO.

Roast dinner and cooked breakfast ftw!

Has anyone given much thought to the nuts and bolts of this trip? ( beyond the once they need to undo, and do up, and and, and do up on the bikes) who's keen to share a dorm at the lake whakamarino lodge? (I'm aiming for the very cheapest possible option) I'm dead keen to out the distance between fuel stops. I've got a dinky wee 2l gas can. But if it's too far between gas stops I'll need a larger (mor cumbersome) gas can.

Actually going by a coon page I joined looking for parts, the EA coons seem to be worth considerably more than a certain much newer model. So technically Igor's coon goon is already an appreciating classic!

I don't think so. When I bled the side that doesn't pull I never noticed anything.

Getting them good hot was the first thing I tried.

With a trailer we could rope in seedy Al and Kicker too.
