The only thing I can think of is that there could be a problem with the winding of one of the coils on the stator.
But, why the problem only occur when the temp drops is beyond me...
I hope you find the problem and that it's an easy fix and please let us know if you do.

I've never heard about this problem before...
Does it blow the fuse when you try to start it or after the engine is warmed up?
The next time the temp drops, try to start and run it without turning the lights on and see if it works.
If it works the problems has something to do with the lights.
If it's still the same, search continues...

You are also from the "Pre-Digital" era!
These fighter planes can scare the s**t out you!
A long time ago I served in the French Foreign Legion as a paratrooper and we had an exercise with the French Air Force and their Mirage 2000.
We were driving down a road and all of us were standing in the back of a truck and scouting around us for the planes that we knew would come. When you finaly saw the planes come from far away it was too late, a second later they passed us with afterburners on. It was a frightening experience to see how vulnerable you are. And the SOUND, it sounded like thunder just over your head!
The pilots reported back that they had us on the radar long before we saw them and that they easily could've taken us out with missiles before we realized what was going on.

It might be hard to find different 4 valve head cams...
I don't think you will have any problems with the oil pump, the starter might have some problems to turn the engine over if the compression is too high. The actual starter can handle a good amount of load as long as you have good battery cables and cables to the starter.
I change all my cables and after that I never had any problems starting it even with the high compression I had.

Wilds,
Yup, THOSE things really DO work! Thanks for posting the pix! I was in the process of mounting one like it on my old Xingyue 150 when local road changes prompted me to trade it for a 250 to keep up with faster-moving traffic. I even did a post showing how to install a bridge-rectifier to convert the AC current on my scoot to DC current which the LED's prefer. My "new" used Kymco 250 uses DC for the lights, so if I do use and LED it will be a lot easier to hook up. You should be a lot safer at night with that LED, but please be sure it's aimed so it doesn't blind oncoming traffic. You don't want your safety-device causing an oncoming car or truck to hit you head-on... LOL! Ride safe!Leo in Texas My scoot use DC for the lights so it was really simple to hook em' up. They are aimed a little downward and they only work when I switch the head light on. Now I'm just waiting for the second one to arrive so I can mount it and drive safely in the dark...  |

I never thought it was possible to catch up with a bullet from an M61 Vulcan (20mm Gatling gun).
Muzzle velocity of the M61 Vulcan is 3445 ft/sec.
F-104 max speed is 1450 mph Which is 2126 ft/sec.
The bullet from the M61 Vulcan will leave the muzzle with 3445 ft/sec. + the airplane speed.
Even if the F-104 Starfighter after firing is going up to max speed it shouldn't catch up with the bullets.

Keep up the work, I'm looking froward to hear your final test results.  |

It also looks a bit like the Oil seal on the Oil Pipe?  |

A oversquare engine (short stroke bigger bore) has it's torque at high rpm's
A undersquare engine (long stroke smaller bore) has it's torque at low rpm's
So a square engine should have a little bit of both... mid-range rpm's.
I always optimise the CVT after what i've done to the engine by trial and error...
Why people doesn't use the 4-valve head on these engines could be because it doesn't have much more to offer that a good 2-valve head...
As I understand, 4-valve heads is more used with twin cams...
I haven't tried the inner rotor kit, I need the lights on my scooter.

Hi, and welcome. Looks like great fun with the grasscarts. Too bad Charlotte spun... If you want to get up just under 200cc you could take a 175cc cylinder and a 8,2mm stroker crank. That would give you 199,16 cc. Personally I do not like 4 valve heads. You can't adjust the valves individually and it seems unnecessary with two small valves and ports. I rather have one bigger port which is lot easier to do a proper port job on. I have this cylinder head and I'm really happy with it. Tuning headThe head comes with a new camshaft (which is a must since original cams want fit the head), new rockers, new longer cylinder bolts and a longer timing chain. A Fuel injection is also the way to go! |
