Generators / New ST-5 is here!
« on: March 26, 2007, 07:52:06 PM »
 :)Just arrived my ST-5 head. Only three days from GA.  USF Holland does a great job of moving and keeping you posted on freight.  Big thank you to Bill!  Pulley here, head here time to get busy mounting things to the Metro!  Met a really nice guy, Jeromy from a e-bay store called US Parts Source located in Kansas City, Kansas. Picked up a brand new 100-280 temp gauge and a didgital tach from him last friday, super good prices, and he doesnt mind if you pick up so no freight, lets you bid a little higher if in the Kansas City area.  Ken

Listeroid Engines / Bicycle Tachometer on 6-1?
« on: October 09, 2006, 09:18:10 PM »
Just came from the bike shop and they have a very clean looking electronic tach/speedometer.  It has two pick ups one for RPM the other for MPH.  Uses a small round magnet about the size of the balance holes in my flywheels, has someone already done this? would this small magnet effect balance much?  Would make a very clean set up.

Listeroid Engines / No Rotation on inlet valve tappet
« on: May 17, 2006, 08:17:18 PM »
 New 6-1 Metro owner, have fired the thing a couple of times since I got it, keeping rpms low (maybe 10 minutes total).  Inlet valve tappet will not rotate, tried changing rpm some to see if there was a point where it would rotate. I can turn it by hand easily, if I turn it about 180 degrees it will rotate the other 180 degrees on the next cycle buy go no further unless rotated by hand again.  Open to any ideas or plans of attack.  Thanks, Ken

Listeroid Engines / Coolant tank size for 6-1
« on: March 22, 2006, 03:40:58 PM »
 Just got my 6-1 yesterday, man is it cool.  I need some input on cooling tank size.  I have seen tanks the size of 20# propane bottles, is this enough capacity for a thermosiphon set up? Planning on a ST-5 head for load, want to try some vegetable oil in the future. Need a ST-5 if anyone has any available.  Ken
