Remove the feeler gauge and rotate the flywheel so the magnets are against the magneto, and check the gap once again. If the bolts were properly tightened, the gap should still be 0.015 inch. Replace the starter housing, and secure it by tightening the three bolts. Reconnect the spark plug...
The next step is to install chain tensioners. The chain needs to be somewhat taut, but not tight. All chains will loosen and 'stretch' with use. So you need to have tensioners to keep that tension at the right level. The RAGB to rear axle tensioner was a problem because there was v...
The ignition coil is mounted next to the flywheel, which is the part of the engine that spins when you pull the starting rope. Permanent magnets mounted on the flywheel pass close to the coil as the flywheel spins, and as they do, they generate a voltage by magnetic induction. A wire c...
And that's not to say that we're engaging in dangerous behavior like texting or changing radio stations while driving — we're actually briefly averting our eyes to look at the car dashboard. So, what's taking up that valuable real estate on your car's dashboard? Contents Car Dash...
And since the kinetic energy of a spinning object (E in the equation above) is related to the square of its angular velocity (ω2), you can see that speed has a much bigger effect than moment of inertia. If you take a flywheel with a heavy metal rim and replace it with a rim ...
What is it?Born from those high-energy studio classes, these bikes are built for performance. They have a heavy flywheel, adjustable resistance, and a design that simulates the posture of road cycling. Who’s it for?If you thrive on high-intensity workouts, studio bikes are your ticket. ...
The problem with the people who want to be seen as experts in the new thing from day 1 is that it stops them learning. The problem with the people who believe the new thing won't replace the old thing is that it stops them learning. ...
Mounting a flashlight on a gun like a rifle or shotgun puts it out of reach to turn the light on or off without letting go of the weapon. That's where a remote switch comes in. They can usually replace the tail switch push button with a wired switch that can be mounted near the ...
The transmission transmits power from the flywheel and directs it, through a driveshaft, to the wheels. The transmission has different gears— or speeds— to control how fast the wheels turn. As the wheels turn, they cause the car to move. To measure the speed of a car, one must be ...
