Parts have arrived and i am pretty confident this will be a good working unit again.
A small change in plans. It is not possible to change the impeller without a total teardown of the rotrex, while interesting enough it's not something I want to do again just to change the impeller.
Cast out, CNC in!
No dipstick, I added a clear tube to indicate oil level
I bought a complete used A&A kit, one of the original 6g kits. I made the oil cooler from a 6g radiator.
New larger SH847 rr is mounted on the left side of the frame now.
I didn't get a chance to make a thread for my rebuild before leaving on a trip, but I plan to make a list of mods with pics when I return.
97 started not wanting to run. I assume bits of the disintegrated sub filter made it way into the carbs. It would run at idle but once you twisted the throttle it half run and soon die. I ran some cleaner thru tank and sprayed carb cleaner into the intakes a few times. Must of cleaned her out cause know she is running nice and smooth.
Looking good as usual!
So you will have access to the dipstick through a hole in the right panel right?
You said you have been gathering parts for ages, but you had the complete SC kit minus the cooler or am I wrong?
No outboard support bearing on the rotrex?
Did you fab the toothed pulleys or are they the last revision from Dan?
Where did you put the rectifier?
Could we get a look under the hood Please 🙂😳
