[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 114918, member: 597"] Thanks for replies, yes I think I have seen a quick video of the set up that Godet had done, but no real details. I will almost certainly want to run a belt primary, which is what the original concept of the RTV engine was supposed to have, but they ran out of funds to go that way. Hence the chain primary with a starter that ran in oil........Not too well at that........ Bill the German one looks sort of ok, perhaps a bit complex, then what to do about a charging system. I think it is vital to help lower the compression on start up, the big bore Harley's have been doing that for years. I am lucky the fires we had here some months back have finished, but it is a constant threat in such a dry country. The loss of thousands of Koala's on Kangaroo Island down south is probably the biggest tragedy.......they cannot be easily replaced, their habitat is decreasing. I've told people that if a fire came through here, any bikes and/or parts I could not get away easily, I would throw everything in my pool. Better to be under water, than torched by fire.............. [/QUOTE]
