Rocketboy, is yours mounted on top of a gas tank? I read that that is not OK, but does it work?

Well, I'll try again.  Seems I can't click on the picture and copy or copy shortcut.  I have to go to properties, highlight the URL, copy that and paste it between the
thingies, and when I do, it overwrites the [/ at the end.

How do you like the muffler???  It looks like the Princess Auto tractor onces I have seen, does it work well?  I've seen straight pipe and auto.  I would like to silence mine like that one at utterpower by Jeff, who lives in a suburb.... just thinking about the wife :)

T 19--

You and your wife will love the Listeroid.  There's something about that beat.....something primitive and ...

HEy! We might may have run onto the secret of Indian over-population.   :o

T19, let me start a new thread.  I think exhaust systems are something everyone will want to get in on, and like you-know-whats, everyone with a 'roid has to have one.

Here's mine!  It's an Ashwamegh 25/2 with a 15 KW ST gen head. Overhead muffler and related hardware were from B&B auto parts. The radiator was from a 1969 Firebird 350, and even though it is a crossflow radiator, it still does the thermal siphon thing! An attic fan draws air thru above. The starter is from a 350 chevy, including the ring gear, I made the adapter from a piece of 4 inch aquamet shaft (from a boat) don't do that, it was the worst to machine! I welded up the starter support from channel and angle steel. With the rocking of the engine (side to side) it shakes quite a bit. The rubber mounts between the frame and subframe might not have been the best idea.
I built the subframe 'I' beams across the engine instead of the usual way, DON'T do that! It allows the engine to shake right to left in the picture. The 'I' beam sub frame should be VERY heavy and should be parallel to the drive belt, not parallel to the crankshaft like I built it! The wire and plug recepticle with 'Kill A Watt' meter is sitting on top for the ST head, but it usually sits on the floor...The Junction box on the ST Generator replaced the original tin box supplied with the generator (it was shaking apart) and the meters were relocated to a remote box. The voltage adjust rheostat was eventually removed (usless...Thanks for the advise George) I added an hour meter to keep track. I have run on biodiesel, OK but plan to blend used crankcase oil etc. when I get fuel storage and mixing tanks set up.

Is your radiator in front of an HVAC vent?

Actually, it's in the garage. The previous owner put a vent exhaust fan up in the peak of the endwall. I just put in a new electric fan, and built the plenum box out of scrap plywood so the fan would pull air and minor engine fumes thru the radiator and send it outside. The exhaust pipe passes along beside the air plenum and passes out thru the endwall also.
