Howdy Juliman. Some of the best ideas are "silly" Keep right on letting your mind wonder and sharing. I have a buddy in AZ who does, well did (he switched to 4 smokers) have a problem with over heating. We got to BS'in about it and I designed a cooling system for him based on a drip coffee maker. Have you ever soldered a pipe? all the heat draws water to the heat source. A modern coffee maker does the same thing. (no pump)
So, if you put a small radiator on the down tube behind the front wheel and wrap the head in copper tubing. Connect it to the in and outfall of the radiator, in theory, should circulate hot and cooled water. (LOL, I know "in theory")
I live in CT so hot is not a big problem but want to make one of these some day just to see. On the 2 smokers, I do see a power loss when they get hot.
Keep posting! If we were sane, we all would never have met. lol
you're right. Some of the best inventions were made by accident. sometimes a "crazy" idea turns out to be something great.
but this idea?
Why bother?
these motors were deisnged with cooling fins for a reason and they have been made this way since day 1.
They work perfectly fine the way they are.
if it aint broke, don't fix it.
