what welder do you use?

@0AUDIOMASTER0 Arc, hence the crap ass welds.

A very good idea.. for one/s home generator.

I want to convert an air cooled engine to a water cooled.

and heat my hot water, charge a battery and maybe pump some water.

[brendonv101]

@josephdupont Sounds like a good idea and very doable. However a 18-25HP engine would be required. A petrol would be best as a small diesel wouldnt run well water cooled. They like to be hot or they wont run very well. Maybe a Briggs 18HP would do the trick. Make a sleeve to go over the cylinder head and pump water through. Maybe have a solenoid so if the water isnt at a nice temperature when it exits out it gets pumped through again. As for the generator and pump, just run them off the shaft.

that motorr will probably spin around 3600 rpm and if you don't linee that bike sprocket up perfectly it will fly into pieces. and the chances of you lining it up right with your eyes is slim to none. plus if the starter us always attached the the spinnig motor the brushes will be done in that started in no time.

[brendonv101]

@THEJBUDS I appreciate the concern but ive thought of all that already man. The bike cassette glides one way and engages the other so when the starter turns it will turn over the engine but when it turns off the sprocket with stay stationary. The starter wont move. Sort of like the starter clutches on briggs engines. Yes the sprockets have to be aligned but it will only be turning over for about 10 seconds so it will be fine.

put that engine on your go kart i has done that on mine its a 252cc 10hp and really strong

@brendonv101 agreed mate i do home engineering on a budget .really need a mig but its ££'s i aint got

[Zerocool818]

you know the gear switching thingy that goes next to the sprocket if you can get it apart there are tiny sprockets and some are made of steel if you can get that you can put it on the starter with no prob btw thanks you gave me a idea with all this im designing a starter/alternator by using a standard motor made for high rpms and torque i will design a simple system of to switches one will give power to the motor to start the other will turn on a diode in which will let the batteries charge thnx

[novachevyguy]

so what's gonna happen if you ever have to take the flywheel off for any reason..?? you screwed up dude....
