General Notes-
- Groups:
Top End – head, intake/exhaust valves, cylinders, carburetor, exhaust
Bottom End – clutch, transmission, oil
Electrical – wiring, points, coils, timing
Wheels – brakes, rims, spokes, hubs
Frame – fork, swing arm, seat mudguards, tanks
Detailing – Painting, Fasteners
- Probably will be using Fusion 360 program
Reading Discussion-
- Compression ratio (7:1 9:1) ratio of volume of cylinder and combustion chamber from when the piston is at the bottom to when it is at the top. Relates to engine power.
- Square engine (like ours with dimensions 63mmx64mm).
- Engines are 33% efficient with a third of energy lost in the exhaust and a third lost through excess heat.
- Dry sump sucks oil out so the fly wheel doesn’t rotate in oil.
- OHV (over head valves)
- Clutch (ours is a friction clutch that uses a collection of plates).
- Our bike has no battery – alternator directly creates the spark).
