Headed north tomorrow to pick up a mortister, I'll look into that! The guy I'm
going with is too scared to drive across the lake... maybe I could talk him
into a voyage even kids will take.

Hey,
It is important to know exactly what prop you're spinning when you do your
static tests to help ascertain what she's doing. I'd be very interested in
hearing the results of the static tests, and what prop it is spinning
Sounds interesting.

Hi everyone!
Oscar, the crankshaft in the model A is centered to the fuselage, but many
of the engine components are on the port side (camshaft, valves, oil pump
etc), so the engine block is not symmetrical to the crankshaft axle. I think
that's the main reason why Dan's and model A powered Piets are heavier on
the port side (add to that the intake manifold, carburator, exhausts,
throttle controls, etc)
Saludos!

Brian,
I would be interested in the cub if it can be shipped reasonably to Tennessee.
Price?
I will understand if the shipping thing is too much of a hassle.
Thanks

The engine sounds great. If it runs good and does what you want, I would
put it on and go with it. I am not advising you to change anything but
during a boring meeting I did the following internet search found the
following ideas to "hop up" a Go-Devil engine:
Airflow is one of the "easier" ways to get more HP:
Burns dual carb intake with dual Solexes.
Supersonic intake.
Make a Dual Intake. (not sure if this will help an aircraft engine as much
as a hot rod) "Any good welding shop should be able to fabricate dual
intakes for you. All you really need is a manifold flange, a 90 degree
tube, and a matching carb flange. Two of those and you have dual carbs.
Compression:
There was a "High altitude" version of this engine with higher compression
of 7 to 1.
The Supersonic cylinder head (Script looks great and you up the
compression ratio a little bit
and http://mightymo.org/public_html/images/AdobeFiles/L_Hd_Perf.pdf
Clifford Performance makes a header for the Go-Devil.
http://www.cliffordperformance.net/Merc ...
_Code=J258<http://www.cliffordperformance.net/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=CP&Product_Code=57-0432&Category_Code=J258>
Or just shave the head a bit.
Also:
A decent camshaft with proper timing and lift, and machine the block for
removable cam bearings. Consider a gear type camshaft drive
You can upgraded the ignition system to a Pertronix setup using 12volts.

Doc,
Your participation is eagerly awaited, and would have most likely been
accepted when you were publisher. Surely , you have noted that the position
of Top Curmudgeon appears to now be a shared position...maybe of some
interest to you? ;-)
