Oil Cooler

Monday, March 8th, 2010

Although the oil cooling was much better, I have decided that I want to be able to control the temperature and be able to run tape over the cooler! This means that I need a CTR Developments oil cooler! We make these ourselves but do take quite a time, 5-6 weeks, but there is nothing better. However I needed to make a drawing for the cooler, hence the scribbles on the bodywork! Hopefully I will have it ready in time for the first race…

Generator

Monday, March 8th, 2010

I have now taken the generator out of the engine. You can see from the picture below that it is knackered! There is a burnt out set of windings, and hence no charging voltage of any worth. I dont remember it being like this when I rebuilt the engine, but it must have been damaged, and it has got worse and worse. I can only assume that the whole charging circuit was damaged as the reg/rec was also faulty when I first started up the engine.
