Def check out the Nz pitmasters page if u havent already.

Whats going on here

I had no idea you could gad weld aluminium. That was rather epic.

I have successfully welded a cast aluminium sump (ls). Heat the snot out of it with a torch then weld a big fat thick bead over the area. Push in heaps of filler rod. The finished weld may be porus and will likely have craters full of black shit sitting in the surface. Grind all of this off and weld it again. For me the first weld would drag all the shit out, second weld was always perfect.

This is great, really love the concept as its something that I'd never seen before on any manual lathe. I wonder how he will deal with disengagement and reengagement of the carriage and lead screw when doing multiple cuts. Eg, manually with lever and indicator arrow (as per lots of traditional lathes), reverse the spindle to drive the carriage back without disengaging (as per traditional lathes when you dont trust or have an indication arrow thing) or some kind of software reverse on just the lead screw.. hmmmn

Not only will this item put a hole in your roof, pricing will also ensure a hole in your wallet

?? You mean because you go over the screws about 200 times before they come up to torque? Lol

Looks like you could double up those bearings..

hey man, Scooter looks great., You could maybe save some money by going down a size or two in Jandle. Profit.

What do you do for a living? U obviously aint a dummy!

3" would likely be fine if you look at power output for a 5.0 LS. https://m.roadkillcustoms.com/determine-proper-exhaust-tubing-size/ this has a good chart.

Damn you guys are smart. will reply back when this thing is either broken or modified

interestingly thats the same hp/cc figure of the MB

yeah thats 1hp more than mine when new

How many hp is a gn125 @tortron

Flick me a pm when ya ready and I'll show u how

nah mate, 6v. going 12v with fullwave rectifier and capicator bank was the best upgrade the bikes had by far. the 6v lighting was useless for so many reasons.

Here's the same circuit with 110v input,

Perfect. I'd have been real sad having my 100cc 2 stroke raped by the 125 4 stroke hahahahhaa.

Whats top speed of a gn125?

Thanks all. Will get into it soon, picked up motor. Same length, larger gearbox but smaller cylinder head. approx 20mm wider in gearbox. Roughly 10mm a side isn't as bad as expected. Plz keep eye open for any wr200s being wrecked as need quite a few parts

Well, If this is the most illegal thing that I do during this lifetime- then i'm doing alright. Once the shed is finished and the house is sold- I'm allowed a bigger bike, but i'd still LOVE to get this down to the cold kiwi next year. I feel rather defeated right now. @Truenotch had that filter on there since the start. When i got the bike it had no air filter at all. I did keep part of the plastic hosing to the filter which looked to be the biggest restriction but obviously failed. I'm going with it being on the edge of safety for the past year and the cold air was just enough to push it over the edge. Do other 2t guys use anything special to warn of impending doom? Knock sensors even? EGT seems to require a huge amount of experience to read reliably.

The flash sequence kinda stops and restarts. I tried probing the circuit last night to figure out if there was a place on the DC side of the circuit that i could power an arduino off. There is far more going on in this than i understand and the few areas i tried getting a voltage reading from REALLY upset things. EG, voltage would very quickly either increase or decrease once touching the probes. Apologies about my explanations, im no sparky lol. Iv put it back in its case now and will just use it as is (and maybe get a second charger @Roman)

Could it have been the cold air?

Iv had this thing wide open for quite large rides, this was only a few minutes in. Bought a wr200 motor pick up tomorrow. Will have to hassle @64valiant for use of his shop
