flatout! Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 Before I got it run in or even thought about taking it outside to fire it up, i thought I was gunner have to make the squish bigger, less compression lol! But now iv run it its easyer now only a bit mind lol! Its awesome though guys, what a beast of a thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almighty15 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Your not wrong there mate as I would prime my KM engine 5-6 times and take about 10-15 fast pulls to get it to fire up lol My Outlaw is so good and a pleasure to start and it has good compression but not a pull start killer :-) My KM started easy with the 990 tbh.... Hold the throttle wide open..... 3-4 fast pulls...... set fail safe to let the engine start........ then 3-4 fast pulls and it would fire, sometimes less.

flatout! Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 Do you think that was right having to use full throttle to start it? When my km was dieing id use full throttle to start, it had a cracked insolation block, and the head was leaking lol! Funny though how different people all have different methods starting the things. You been out with your new motor yet Antony? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You been out with your new motor yet Antony? I use the same method has Mark IMO and I bet marks an all its the best method prime bulb 3 4 times insert one troy bit that's attached to one drill and squeeze drill 1 seconds and bam sometimes it may need less Wait around a minute to warm engine and WOT for the win.

almighty15 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Fully aluminium..... clutch carrier..... gear carrier and even the gear box.... hopefully an all alloy drive train will be enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyknight Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Better fit an alloy spur as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatout! Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 Iv got a tr and vertigo clutch set up, and the km alloy gearbox, just need the ubber ball drives and it'll be ready for the 8+ hp im going to throw at it, it'll take it, But if your going to use stock clutch bell and stock pinion it'll strip it every time, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyknight Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) Yeah for that sort of power you need something a bit better than the keyed bell and pinion setup. makes me glad my km engine is still running a treat, no need for those sorts of upgrades yet.

flatout! Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 Ho matey you wouldn't belive the upgrades iv done ready to put the reed in andy, its crazy matey but it should hold up apart from the shafts, there still the trusty old km ones, iv given them some right hammer and there still on fingers x lol! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almighty15 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Better fit an alloy spur as well. Silly idea... all that will do is move the weak link to something else... much easier to replace a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
