This will be an interesting thread moving forward......

A ferrari is a long ways from a fiat. A company that made golf carts and bowling balls once owned
harley davidson too.

And built the bikes the same way

 

[ianjoub]

And I just learned something new!

In January 2016, Ferrari officially split off from its former parent company Fiat Chrysler Automobiles.

The AMF Harleys were the worst of the worst. LoL

 

[DMiller]

They were nasty and problematic.

This must be HNC in action:

Still find a few AMF Years HDs on the market, cannot get them to retain repairs, fix it and within miles same bad concerns re light. Electrical problems, support equipment supply issues, gauges and controls fell apart. 1969 to 1981. A great deal of US Manufacturers died by sell off in those years.

But if you went through your AMF and replaced all the wiring they ran very well. Had a few.

 

[DMiller]

I know, Owned TWO, for a short time.

Poor or non existent quality control but I thought it was only around the mid 70's models. Didn't realize it was for over a decade. Know a guy who has one of the AMF dirt bikes but they were made by someone else, can't remember the name though.

He sprays the tire and then looks to see if it's wet on the inside or maybe just cleaning the tire before installing it???

Had a 76 FXE that I basically rebuilt from the ground up which provided me with thousands of miles of carefree riding until it broke again or started leaking oil from another spot

Aermacchi?

 

[DMiller]

Sounds right

 

[Welder Dave]

That's it. I thought it was but was too lazy to look it up. Some Harley dirt bikes used forks for rear suspension but apparently they worked not too bad. The golf carts weren't too bad just odd seeing HD golf carts.

RE: the wind generator. Start with something simple like a Delco 22SI alternator, use a crank pulley on the blades and belt it to the alternator. Cut most of the ribs off a ribbed belt to lessen drag. May need a jackshaft to increase alternator speed even more. Will still make DC at slow speed.

Remove bridge rectifier and have 3ph ac lol

Good luck getting 60 hertz.

Pull the inverter from a genset with a fubar'd engine. I know the Honda inverter generators run from 12 volt DC. That'll provide good clean 120 volts @ 60 hertz

Of course, this gets away from using the generator from the paver. But that was going to sit in the shop gather dust anyway.

Told her last night I needed that generator for a bicycle I'm designing LOL

Just leave it as rectified D.C. and put an inverter at the base of the tower.
