I'm really liking that triple belt redundancy you have. If you could somehow move that in one inch closer on the crankshaft that would be nothing but good too
Yes. How do I order this product and what is the process in building my knowledge since this is a completely new field? Retired and starting from scratch> any advice?
The idler allows the prop to unload by slipping in the slack side. I think the Valley Engineering's design is pure genius the way the adjuster works. Chain would allow harmonics to tear things up.
The chain drive would be to hard on the engine and likely break. The slip allows the engine to run the prop and doesn't let the prop run the engine. It also takes out the harmonic resonance which makes it easier on the air frame as well as an overall smoother engine.
Valley Engineering the chain would likely never break since they use smaller ones than the five twenties in drag racing motorcycles. Also it would likely never damage the engine.
@@UncleKennysPlace that is why engines have the flywheel to absorb the harmonic resonance. Go karts has been running for decades with chains. I have also seen chain drives on Hovercraft with automobile engines. Another good is that the chain drive has less wear on the crankshaft bearing since it doesn't require much tension.
Hi, thank You for response. Yes, it is stock engine, with stock carb and exhaust. Please, is anybody using it tuned on other (faster) homebuilt plane, than on Backyard or Mariner ? Regards, J.
These engines are super easy to get power out of.. valve spring cam piston and Rod and you probably get a lot more than 50. There's a whole group of these guys that are running them on nitromethane tractor pulling as well as just methanol. Tons of performance parts.
@@destro513 Sadly not so much. My plane project is on the back burner and with my money looking tight especially with prices of everything going like they are I'm pinching pennies. Still wouldn't hurt to hear what you got.

@@Triple_J.1 I've got the plane, just need engine, prop and a few more things to complete. Money situation has improved for me so I will probably be flying this summer God willing
My confidence is almost thru the roof....

That would give marginally less "wrap" on the upper pulley, and slightly reduce torque carrying capacity.

Geat info!
How many CC's is it and would it be all right for a PARA-TRIKE?
In my research so far, this seems to fit the best. Is this the best one in your opinion to start off with?
@4:00 Lock Nut should be a few threads in ..
The balls used in the reduction drive, where can I get them? I have one of your engines and unfortunately I see they are no longer available.
Well, you are totally screwed 🤣 😳 😂... They don't have or make them anymore....
@@ToyManFlyer1100 Hardly, all the parts are available from different venders troll.
That looks like a Chevy tensioner with a bigger pulley... and some holes machined into it to Mount the prop to it. 🤔
wowww you are Good man
HI, I wonder if you have a kit for increasing the hp from 40 to 50hp on a V twin.

How do I order this product?
A chain drive would be simple. Two sprockets, 520 motorcycle chain, no slip, lasts longer.

@@blairwise3339 You need to learn about "longitudinal vibration". It can hammer a gearbox with many times the design load.

I have this engine - what is cost of 50hp tuning kit (what is included?) and what is cost of PSRU ?
The cost of the tuning kit can vary. Is it a stock engine with the stock carburetor and exhaust? The PSRU is $1100 (prop not included).

I want to buy this engine
I would like to find a source for a stock generac engine like this. Anyone know ?
Still looking for one?

Maybe film indoors away from all the noise
How many hp?
40 or 50 depending on options. I don't know if the upgraded model is supplier or it's just the backyard flyer
