R100 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Any thoughts on the fireing order ? All at once or in sequence. Sequence would sound awsum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 All at once would be mega jolty / chain snappingly awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Surely they will just be all doing there on thing/vibrating the shit out of everything. Its not like they share a common crank so who cares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 Sequence is the aim. Doing the plates on the weekend because Dave wanted to spend some time with his woman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 good luck with keeping them in sequence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Suppose it depends how lush this chain setup turns out, one slip and your hours setting them up is gone, anyway carry on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage Grumble Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I learned with the briggs twin, that firing order/sequence made no differance to the sound, and seeing as these are two stroke, any differance will be even less likely due to the speed/rate of the paulses. I did find that having them fire at the same time did put less load on the coupling tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Posted October 16, 2011 Author Share Posted October 16, 2011 So, made some plates (thanks Cam and Dave) Mounted some motors Attached some sprockets and weaved through some chain. Allighnment is all out of wack of course, but thats ok as i still need to skim a bit off the flywheels because the plates are a bit (lot) thicker than planned but thats ok. 10mm aluminium sounds good to me weighs a bit though but meh. So next is - welding the sprockets on- making first reduction sprocket holder shaft thingy- making tensioner shaft- connecting all the throttle cables- fuel lines- start?- get a couple more plugs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ned Posted October 16, 2011 Author Share Posted October 16, 2011 but paperweight can come to Hawkes Boes... not enough time/money for the rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ned Posted October 16, 2011 Author Share Posted October 16, 2011 Cheers guys Made a mock up of the throttle cables (thanks bike barn and Sam) 10 brake/gear outer cables and 10 adjustment thingies Will re-do it as this was just to see if it would work (and it doesn't really work like that) Will make a decent width allignment bar where the outer cable will go through 1" or so piece of aluminium to get them all to point the same way nicely, and from there go to the adjustment bolts. The adjustment bolts will all be in 1 line or else it's impossible to adjust them and will thread into the bar holding them. Both the alignment bar and adjustment bar will also double as spacers for the two plates. From there the inner cables will meet and join the single main throttle line. Will hold that in place with a couple cable clamps or something. Something like this; Open to other ideas though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keltik Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Would it be better to make a bridle so all of the cables are pulled in a straight line and equal distaince? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ned Posted October 16, 2011 Author Share Posted October 16, 2011 I like! I was thinking of using something like a hinge from a door as they are nice and thick to pull all the cables with and pull the hinge with the main cable. This way i can also change the throttle ratio by moving the main cable up a bit and the engine ones down as the engines have a tiny range of throttle... (if that makes sense) but i could do the same with that ^^^ idea by putting the shaft on a lathe and make it different sizes to get different ratios my other idea anyway; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toyabusa Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Hey Ned, looks awesome mate!! Will have to check it out in person when it's running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Posted October 18, 2011 Author Share Posted October 18, 2011 Cheers Got the plates spaced apart now thanks to Dave and Cam. Wouldn't have been able to get anywhere near this far without these two. Cam for helping me with ideas and talking about what the next step is etc while we're supposed to be working, and Dave for being an all round OS GC! He cut most the shit, machined most the shit, helped with plenty of sweet sweet ideas and has put in a large amount of hours! Hope i can one day repay him that favour So, photo time Plates mounted Alignment is SWEET IMHO! So now to work on throttle cable, tomorrow fuel and Thursday hopefully get the chain on so i can fire this b!tch up! Oh, it got a bit heavy due to 10mm plate... 27KG as it stands...
