This shows the air solenoid valve and quick release
coupling. The wiring for the starter will stay in place
for the meantime, just in case the starter can be repaired
or a replacement can be found.

A picture of
the diving bottle that I use for paintballing. The air
start seems to be a kinder way for the engine to spin
up at the cost of getting the bottle recharged regularly,
which is a pain as I do not own a suitable air compressor.

This is more
like it, I decided that I should stop penny pinching
and buy a proper fan powered oil cooler. The image
shows it mounted nicely out of sight under where the
engine sits. As a note it has been wired so that the
fan is pulling air, rather than pushing it.

An overview of
the governor assembly. Whilst the starter is away for
a 'fingers crossed' repair,
I decided that maybe I better spend my time trying to
make a throttle assembly. This is done by replacing the
governor adjustment screw with a plunger. |

With the governor
case removed the fly weights can bee seen. The fly weights
control the RPM using
centrifugal forces that slide the central hub up and down
over a series of fuel feed holes, thus controlling the
RPM.

The spring that
normally maintains the equilibrium of 100% throttle. |

The fly weights, hub and bearing removed.

The original plunger that is used
to set the spring tension with the fly weights.

Start of the
throttle assembly, the aluminum block nearest the camera
has the max throttle
adjustment screw mounted in it.
