This reply had me pissing myself

Welcome to the Forum

He's the gift that keeps on giving

just looking at that makes my shins ache

The hardest part for me will be the repainting, I am crap at that

[mention]JackieOWheels[/mention] Because I know all the things that go wrong with it Seriously though, I might keep it to play with for a bit but this year was meant to be the year I got my full license and a big boys bike. I have the money for the test but will use the sale of this towards a new (to me) bike.

I just wouldn't feel happy with one of those sump valves, I've seen different variations for cars & bikes and I couldnt cope with the worry of thinking have I knocked it open after going over that speed bump too fast

I've dragged my old bike from back of Garage where it has lived for the last 3/4 years under a cover I'm planning on lightly restoring it to sell off, basically getting it back road worthy and giving it a lick of paint. I put some fuel in tank to try & start earlier in week which immediately started leaking out of the petcock So thats a rebuild kit needed for a start Good news is the engine fires up with a bit of WD40 sprayed into the airbox so thats one hurdle cleared. Carb looked cleaner than expected, Electrics seem fine, Both brakes are completely seized, tons of rust to deal with as well.

But if we all fit those arcturus engines we could be there by yesterday

To be absolutely fair to the guy though I do have to say this. When I went on his website and watched his animation for a bit my computer fans started up & sounded like a jet turbine so he might be on to something

[mention]Mr Fro[/mention] I have no clue how you found that!! I did a pretty extensive google and came up with nothing Hats off to you

[mention]Six30[/mention] I originally thought it was you on a lockdown induced wind-up

I wonder what one would be like with an arcturus engine?

And by the way I can promise you that propellors don't work in space

I very much doubt he will be getting banned In all seriousness I don't understand why you thought to ask a bunch of bikers about your revolutionary new design and not instead gone to the more scientific engineering based forums that are abundant on the web.

Definitely got a sump plug! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AB61DX3YdHM

Two years I believe

To answer the original question there is an invention called a flame arrestor that might be applicable https://youtu.be/vrSOhhHIXQ8 https://www.protego.com/products/flame-arresters.html

Perhaps you could 3d print a model. Obviously it wouldn't work as an engine but it would be a useful tool for you to use. Probably a company somewhere you could go and get it done at

If you go on the website you will see it's not a dream, they have actually built the engine and are currently working on a smaller lighter version. Realistically that's what you should look to do with your design I feel. All the simulations in the world can't beat an actual field test

I have the Ogri lid as my spare its a bit too tight for my head though, gives me earache after a while

I think I still have one! I hope so anyway

Another option if the garage is local and the mechanic is friendly is to bribe them into picking it up
