Update

All the remaining Speedflow oil hoses are now going to be fitted over the next weekend or two. I haven't had a lot of time recently with the new baby arrival so the engine has seen a little less of me just recently.
I think I have come to the idea that the electric start is a no goer! without spending Lot's of time and effort on perfecting the bendix design - Pity because it does look nice. EDIT - 31/05/07 still going ahead with it but using a solenoid arrangement - It needs a device to push the couplings onto the domed nuts harder. The Bendix type friction couplings are just not good enough to spin up the turbine wheels using the bendix action only to rely on enough pressure to create a good mate. The couplings just sit and spin on the domed nuts and have blued them off due to excessive heat. Not Good!
There is also a problem I have with the ESC that where being used to control the 2 starter motors. They have a tendency to shut down if an over current situation is seen. This makes the ESC's shut down intermittently during spool up causing the motors to judder sometimes.


I have recently added some video's on to YouTube of the Jet Kart bit's and Bob's :-











Hope you enjoy them :)
