[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 136338, member: 597"] I think anyone who has adapted an electric starter system to a Vincent engine is doing very well........It is all obviously a big compromise, as you don't really want to change the looks and basic design of the factory spec engine. I think in reality the main issue is when the engine specs grow.........As bore sizes grow the internal friction grow with it, plus add extra compression and many other upgrades........You go from an engine that cranks over quite well, to one that only needs the smallest of hickups and things start to go wrong.........I think that is what I have seen here, a combination of small issues that have ended up doing some damage. The carburretors seem to block their pilot jets within a short period of time, especially here in a hot climate.........The ESA seems to be a stock Vincent one, is there an upgraded one that can be used.........Remember this Egli is a 2015 model 1330 magnesium engine (about 400 km's on the clock from new)........Can someone confirm that a Lithium Ion battery is better to use in this bike for better cranking output.........Cheers........
