Hi Poeple
I am quite new to this group so please be kind !
I am planning on building my first engine. I have read loads on the net on how to ... performance this ... lightened fly wheel etc etc.
A few times I have come across the statement " but dont do this if its going in a bus" !
So my question is this - what would be a good design, from carb though to exhaust for my new engine.
I want not so much power/speed but tough reliable cruising at 70 - 80 MPH. Good MPG would be high on my list to.
I have read that a "square engine" ( stroke equal to bore ) is good for fuel econ. Small inlet is good for busses ? Keep your flyweel heavy (180) etc.
I will be using a spare 1300 dual port as my donar.
Any good sites I might have missed ( for bus engines ). I would prefer type 1 as there doesnt seem to be that much info on type 4 )
