Rotec Radial

Was looking at the Rotec Radial site today,wondering which child I would sell to be able to afford one to put in my Little Wing frame,and came across this. Good thing I was sitting down as all the blood was going to the wrong head.

Re: Rotec Radial

And if you are worried about not enough cooling air getting to the rear cylinders, just try turning it around like this.

Re: Rotec Radial

The Piglet is progressing nicely. Its registered but the old S&S super B has a badly worn butterfly shaft so it carb-farts a bit too much by sucking air and running lean.
Its more like a snortster than a sportster at times.
I was going to resleeve the shaft but have decided to just replace the carb as I've found one on ebay.
Other than that I had to rewire the blinkers and idiot lights at the front end.
Now that I've gone to the 'dark side' (HD) I've booked in for a course on beating up little old ladies and biting the heads off chooks.
When I've got the thing sorted properly, I'll come down to AR for lunch one day.

Re: Rotec Radial

Carefull what you say Mark, you win lotto & i just might hold you to that, or at least ride up & help you celebrate......
Telf, assuming your sporty is a 1200 the B series is old & has no accelerator pump, the S&S E or G more suited.
Crusty,

Re: Rotec Radial

G/Day Nod, yeah back in town 2nd July, ground work is getting there slowly but no worries. Only got about 350M?? of usable strip since the flood came through, had the grader out but the bottom end is still to soft so dont leave much to play on but enjoying it just the same.

Re: Rotec Radial

Hi Crusty

Mate I'd be real happy to do it if I won tattslotto only I'd be greedy and want you to have a ride with me and a drink too

Keep up the ground work too mate, I really would like that phone call you promised

Regards Mark
