anyone tell me what else these things were in?

i am after a 3 cyl charade motor for my project - proving to be more than a little illusive...

can anybody tell me what else [if anything] they were fitted in to help widen my search some?

i am told they were in a hijet for a few years also but thats not working for me either

any other vehicles they were in that anyone knows of? or a simliar engine for that matter?

thanks all - this is just the start of the questions - you just wait till its all layed out in the garage

thanks all

just wondering if you've seen the Aixam diesel cars? their 500cc diesel twin might lend itself to motorcycle use, they are common on ebay.

nope - not seen them - worth a look into

from a very quick google search looks like a 2 cylinder kubota engine about 13HP

im going to do some sums with gear ratios but that doesnt sound an awfull lot

You're right, 13hp doesn't sound like a lot, but I thought it might be a more compact size and if it takes a car up to 50 mph, then maybe 70 on a bike is possible?

Aixam runs over 100km/h if injection linkages are is allowed to work full.
I Once had short talk with gyus who import them...

currently on ebay(uk)110204772900
ebay(australia)280182797535
but be warned daihatsu spares in the UK are expensive although some consumables,head gaskets etc. are available from other sources

I had to get three glow plugs for the Daihatsu Charade engine a few years back and was told they were cheaper here than on the continent.

I used to have a hijet diesel(what a disaster) injector units cost £1000 the set and nobody wanted to work on it although this was a completely different engine to the charade:?
