GEBE engine question

[recumbentbill]

keep the shroud on

the plastic shroud is there for a reason just like fins are on the fly wheel for a reason. Cylinder cooling. The engine may run fine for now but [IMO] the life of the engine will be cut short. Do your bikes engine a favor and put the shroud back on

smaller engines are smaller for many reasons

yup...forced-air cooling is factored in along with all the other
values used during design, such as fin size, shape, & placement...

that is all

Yep...she might definitely heat up if ya set and idle for awhile...that little squirrel cage in there is there for a reason, although the engine does look quite nifty without the shroud in my opinion as well.

That looks quite wicked! How fast?

p.s the housing is for safety really. The afore theories are true if one is running the motor but not moving.
