That's bad ass. 14hp would be crazy fast on that little thing. yah, the stock clone motors rev to about 5000rpm iirc this one revs way higher, i think upper 8k. i need to regear. once it hits the power band i'm going way too fucking fast lol its barely hitting power and i'm already going about 45mph |

im going to build another one and try to resell it on ebay or whatever
the motors are $120 shipped now, and if you buy all chinese parts they are about $150 shipped. so if i sold for $500 it'd be kinda fun the tillison performance motors are all way over $1000 |

the governor arm fell into the case and rear tire got a puncture and the tires were on backorder for months
they finally are available again, so i thought i'd build a pure chinese "built" motor 212 honda gx200 clone big cam flat top piston billet rod 10k rpm flywheel valve springs & pushrods should be about 14hp. im working with the jetting |

It broke again in only 25 days, Summit took the Powermaster back and sent me a Top Street Performance one. I double checked everything i could think of that would make it my fault. The belt was loose enough to squeal on startup so it wasn't over tightened. The pulley is aligned and square. All the brackets are tight. I i keep being told that the problem is in the mounting but the factory Kia one has been in there a decade. I only replaced it cause the 70amps is not enough to run my A/C. I redesigned the tensioning bracket anyway just in case. I'm using a SBC bracket welded to my existing one.

Never like the CS style GM alternators, they usually have rear cooling issues and the diodes and voltage regulators usually get cooked.
When I worked in retail parts, I saw a tonne of these warranting out even the new ones from AC Delco. The rear housing was made to small and was poor cooling. The CS alternators for big rigs last longer, but they are bigger. The older SI alternators are much more reliable, I like the 135amp from '85 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham. But there are way more reliable alternators from Nippon/Mitsubishi/Bosch for Hondas/Toyotas/Nissians they make 130amp ones for about $100 usd. |

I like twist lock trays cause they're easy to take to the junk yard to pull stuff. They lock so sockets don't fall off and it's easy to see if something is missing.

This truck is cursed, how the hell does an alternator case break? Its a GM 1 wire from summit that is less than 2 months old.
