Mitsuba SM-220

Starter Motor

12v 0.7kw

lots better than the Kwak ones unless you get a 4 brush from a later model. You may have to remove some metal from the Gearbox cover if you retain that otherwise straight fit.

nice mag 2 Ian.

Is there a book on how long you'll keep it yet?

get some car leads from scrappers - free, you only want the ends, new copper connectors and a big long length of taylor lead - I bought some from a guy advertising on EBay Motors, make yourself a crimping tool to use in the vice and make your own. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Taylor-45403-Black-8MM-Spiro...

over cooling the oil is worse than running it too hot, only problem may be the air flow through it not the size

catch tank - need to lower the hose under the height of the tank in/out to get the oil to drop down into the engine. Looks a bit high on the bend

what year is the beetle?

Selling it yet Jack?

Your pilot jets are too small at 17.5, go to 20 or 22.5, as said 25s are too big, run 1 to 1 1/4 turns out on the air screws.

have a word with your local motor rewind specialist about rewinding it to put out more power

RR possibly for a H**** and the green will be earth and not the switched live. Red/white out to battery, black switched live green earth, yellow to alt doesn't matter which. see what the numbers come up with in google if it says SH232 it's a H****

Have you looked into the newer Mosfet RRs?

I'd make the bits of heat shrink longer and if the box is steel not plastic also think of a few Orings over the screw heads to ensure that it won't wear through the coating in time.

I'm thinking of going CNC - so I can sit and watch it turn out beauty in alloy, unfortunately those with the capacity to do yokes etc seem to take up space disproportionate to their capacity so it looks like manual for me!
