Diesel Heater On All Night

[trevskoda]

that is an interesting point.... I think the Kerosene that Rae has does have an optional additive in it? I can't recall for sure, but I think that was included for free as an incentive when I got the tank filled in March.

All 28sec heating oil has it in it, no option, what i do when getting a tank fill is put in two bottles of redex diesel injector cleaner, boiler is as clean as new and now 5 years in service, the jet and swurl plate is clean also.

I used to design and manufacture two stroke pipes, not the same animals

I wasn't saying they WERE the same....
Merely that the science bit behind exhaust design is a deep and fascinating science...

As we hope to get away tonight, not far but as we live in Fife there's lots of coastline, I decided, if we were to go out, it would be nice if the heater was quiet so I quickly attached the good silencer back on to the exhaust pipe and then I fitted an extension so it cleared the body.

As you can see, clears the body nicely, stuck a quill in the end just so there are no rough edges protruding. This is not the finished job just a make do 'til my new silencer turns up.

I remember a lot of messing with expansion pipes as a youngster. Spent a long time before i just accepted at that time all the research Yamaha were doing on the subject was better than other options my wallet allowed lol

Same here.... Along with chopping the disc valve on fs1e fizzies till they wouldn't run and random bending of Reed valves/filing ports etc....

All part of a learning curve that kids these days wouldn't have a clue about lol

I have owned many 2 strokes back in the day: YDS7, RD250s and a 350; I also even owned a coffin tank. Also a Suzuki 250 Hustler as well as the 500 twin. I only ever rode one bike with expansion pipes, far too noisy and the power band was a nightmare: STD pipes were far more useable for road use. K&N filters, yes.

Rebuilt a few SS/ FS1E engines; even replaced the big end and rod as it came in a kit on one engine. 75cc barrel and piston was the way to go, no need to take the bottom end apart.

V8 two stroke sounds fruity ;-)

We used to swap the 50cc fizzzy engines for the very similar looking A100 ones ;-)

Ordered this Thursday, came today: can't grumble, just wish I had a van to bolt it to.

Nicely finished; welds look like they've been polished on a lathe.

Nice, substantial bracket, looks like a quality bit of welding.

Here we have a shot looking right through it, hopefully, this should give me lots of years of service.

Thought I still had it; FS1E conrod.

V8 two stroke sounds well whe it's installed too...

This is my 1961 BSA that I’ve for the last 40 years; a lovely crack off the exhaust.
