Hi
Check out EBay Diesel Generator Nice engine for someone, good looking engine under the covers however the crankshaft rotation is the opposite direction to normal i.e. clockwise.

That's the engine I'm using!!! It's 500cc...well 479... and yes it turns backwards!

Hi
Thanks for the correction, I have one lurking in my garage and considering using it .How did you do the transmission and clutch on yours? I am curious about how it performs I have a Yanmar 400cc clone that will push along at 52mph 55mph top but is not very happy!!

Cheers Tim

Hi Tim....

I'm still in the process of building, but will be running it with the flywheel on the right, belt drive (1:2) ratio to a dummy crank in a Rotax 350 bottom end... and then the clutch and gearbox is as Rotax intended!

I have a build thread here, more details will be added when the weather improves and I can get on with it.....
