[quote="UnknownStuntman"]This is quite cool. Two discrete engines! The madness of it all! Do you start one then use it to bump the other one? Common kill switch for both too?
Tell us more about it?[/quote]
Villiers 98cc 2-stroke engines, 1-N-2-3 Albion gearbox. There is a large handle on the left side of the bike that is used to start both engines via the gearbox, you can however bump start the whole thing by pushing it along and releasing the clutch in second usually starts both up. Its easy to push because its small and lightweight.
Whats a kill switch? I have two fuel taps |

[quote="c_dug"]Does it ride well? How do the engines keep in time properly?[/quote]
We timed the engines to the same degree, however, between my measurements and the 1955 engines, they never seem to bang in sync. They don't pull each other though, so something must be right. The ride is actually quite comfortable. The springer front end and the sprung seat absorb the bumps well. The most difficult part is controlling everything with your hands. Right handed gear lever is a pain. A gear lever that comes up between your legs. But its all in good fun! |

I`m thinking that you wont be curling the tarmac on the drag strip then .
It looks like a groovy project
Moar please![/quote]
Haha not anytime soon. The two engines do have a surprising amount of torque, just no high revs. Throttle twists about 15 degrees. |

If that's what you do to a pair of poor unsuspecting ATCO mowers, I HATE to imagine what would happen if you chanced upon a couple of Allen Sythes
There used to be a couple rusting away in the barn on my Grandad's farm... Big solid steel wheels with '"Allen" cast in them, and Speedway bike tyres!

Nice piece of work there!
You seem to have collected an inordinate number of electric motors and reduction gearboxes - what could you possibly need all those for? ____________________ a.k.a 'Geri'
