Latest scoop- so i got the porting down to build pressure and she screams like no other got 3psi of boost at 61 mph with a 32 tooth sprocket on a 30" tire which is nothing like I have every rode before... little scary especially with only coaster brakes. got two healthy 10 min runs on her, all seemed well it was hot but it was not running lean or to the point where parts would fail. On the third run after about 17 mins in the piston basically melted to the wall of the cylinder locking up the rear tire at 25 mph in town scared the s*** outa me at first and then I had to laugh because I realized what really happened... while that was prolly the longest black mark on pavement left by bicycle i had ever seen, but in the end it was all worth it! Heres how I look at it, yeah I blew a bunch of spare time about $70 in parts and materials, but I had fun, learned some things along the way and have an excuse to rebuild my cruiser into a more chopped out bike with a new top end on the engine. Next time I supercharge a bike it will be with something much bigger maybe a snowmobile motor......
WOW, what amazing progress in just one day! Can you post some pictures of your setup and the carnage?
