The output at 10.5 has jumped from 26 to 28. I'd say I'll have 29hp once I match the inlet to the exhaust.
Now Mr Wobbly did say "anything like 30hp" ... Not sure how I'm going to explain this service offer to the wife

iv never seen such a heap of torque like that , 13 foot pounds is the best i'v got out of a 4 stroke ,thinking of going to a 2 stroke myself now

Jesus! Nice one Kel! Start stretching for the GP now

I've been going to the gym for the last two months. 10 years of sitting at a desk had resulted in a complete lack of strength and fitness, but those days are over. Stronger, fitter, meaner (and I mean meaner f***ers) Kel coming to a track near you.

Watch out folks.

Here comes the Kelvinator.

Shit, thought that might have sounded cooler, my bad...

So the GP has come and gone. As I don't have a MNZ licence I had to enter the Tokoroa GP, aka B grade. Of course it was really only about showing off how fast the bike was in a straight line . What an awesome weekend it was; good time Saturday, threw the bike down in the wet qualifying, nearly missed the start of the race, bike developed a misfire meaning I didn't have to live with Richard beating me, and then THAT controversy. Shit it had it all; hillbillies getting their van stuck on the bank, Brian with his flat battery, Cully not speaking to us, being called a lunatic, seriously it was the most entertainment I have had in months!

Fast forward a week - Sent the test pilot out on the bike the other day to get his view on what the problem was,

Funny thing was there was no problem in fact the bike was running really well. I'm pretty sure it was an electrical problem on race day which is pretty piss poor as I've had a replacement system for well over 12 months. Made some time this weekend to start fitting the thing. Was able to modify the base plate that was supplied with the unit to fit the KE without too much drama

But the rotor is another story

The taper is too large for the KE crank. My thought was to machine down the KE rotor centre, bore out the new rotor and press the KE rotor centre into it, but now I'm not so sure, maybe the KE rotor centre should be machined as a taper fit
Kelvinator out.

[Grumph]

Given how thin both pieces would finish up, I'm pretty wary of that solution.
I'd pull the boss out of the new rotor and machine up one with the same outside dimensions but ID and taper to suit the Kawa.
The machining is not the hard part, it's finding someone with a rivet press who knows how to use it...

[koba]

I used one of those setups, my issue at Taumaranui was from the rivet flange breaking away from the taper part.
I suspect they might not like big revs.

This would be the ideal but the internal magnet part overlaps the boss

Oh dear
