Texas Two Step Taco

Another thing to consider is gussets are less likely to crack when they are welded so their surface is tangential to the cross section of the tube, rather than perpendicular. However considering that this is portion is already triangulated, gussets are not very beneficial.

Thank you!

But it looks so nice and besides, we all need more welding practice. Yours is getting pretty neat though.

BTW, how thick is that gusset? Asking for a friend..... Looks might thick. I tend to err on the side of too thin which doesn't always work but it sure is light.

Very thick .175” I had a bunch of material left from the rear tabs. I am moving my pegs up and back into those holes. I bent one of the tabs because it was too thin. Yes Brian Hobbs is mad at me because he said i didn’t need it. But my welds are way better than a two years ago so I feel better about doubling the power and have a little gusset and it bugged my aesthetically. Look at what we just got from our buddy! Cr125 front end!

Part 2 for the bultaco remote drag bike starter build. We disassembled the solenoid and removed the armature to disable the bendix.

Finished up the remote starter just need some bicycle grips since it is 7/8” chrome moly.

Drilled out the ball on the extentions and bolted the extension to the shaft for the Bultaco remote drag bike starter.

Used John’s design for the remote drag bike receiver. Used the female end of the extension and welded it to some thin stainless and bolted it to the rotor.

Ring end gap is now .025” top and bottom

That puts a little over . 007” time 3.40” = .0238

Raised the windows on the intakes and drilled 3 holes for true exhaust bridge

Leakin and you won’t find this at the hardware store. 30mm by 1.5mm oring goes on the crank and there is a recess milled in the collar now have 20 for the back up container. Doing a leak down test is a pain in the rear on the Bultaco. I have tried several insert plugs for the exhaust and they do not seal. There is barely enough room to slide a hose on the outside of the flange but not enough room to tighten a hose clamp. Will weld a slightly longer collar in the future to make this easier.

The Zeeltronic can use a Hall effects sensor or magnetic sensor. This is the magnetic sensor with a metal reluctor on the crank. Now we won’t know if this is tripping at the leading edge or trailing edge of the reluctor until we put a timing light on it. Good news is the sensor is working and so is the remote starter. If the sensor is off then we switch the wires and change the polarity. You have to spin the engine at least 22 rpms a minute for it to register and hence the reason for the remote starter. With a dial indicator this is firing at TDC now we will go and set the static angle for the sensor tonight. I will have to put the reluctor plate on the rotary table and mill longer grooves to get to the correct static angle. The directions say to set the static angle no more than what you want to advance the engine and they use 31 degrees but no more than 45 degrees. Can you imagine 45 degrees of advance?

This is what we heard at BDC
When the house is a rockin don’t bother knockin but when the piston is a rattlin will we be a crackin?

Probably worth pulling the barrel and rechecking your measurements. It may not be as bad as it looks - there's normally a lot more clearance at the ring lands - but I'd be double checking it. Especially since the head is already off.

Will do
