1st Fire up a salt a
Well the rush is on, Today we finished final assemble of my old hayseed engine , this engine has been put together from parts from some 12 differant engines, Yep its a bitsa, It lit staight up & makes a big block chev sound like a single cly 2 stroke compared to this , Thought some folk may wish to view it, Its not quite stock so i won,t be offended if purist give me a hard time , Its built for one reason only ? 2013 Pete R, Ron M, Mike L, Jim B, Made a dream come true for me , But now its in my old veins ?? Guys trust me dreams can come true So hurry up & finish those projects cause we aint here for ever for,

Re: 1st Fire up a salt a
I honestly say I have dreams of pulling up to a light with a Model A, and having some smart alek come up beside me and "gunning the throttle a little" to give me a razz.
The light changes - and I blow his doors off in my tricked out - but externally stock Model A. THIS could possibly do it. "See ya round boys!" Gotta love that John Hoyt/Midas Muffler ad. Joe K

So Derek, are you going for a re-do of Burt Munro, only from the opposite end of the island? Vern

Re: 1st Fire up a salt a
I would like to see more pictures, intake, pulley set up and am curious what rpm it takes to make boost and how much. I have the parts to try a similar set up.
