Re: Karma - Dino
That is cool. Now I dont know much about these engines, but is it normal to smoke(that is what it looks like to me) like this?

No it should not smoke this is all the 2 stroke oil and normal oil i used to seal the roter seals before i start the engine. She is running clean now.
. Took her out of the garage this week-end. The next step now is to fit the roll cage and droor frames. I am also going to fit the new rims, tyres ... then the body. here is some pic`s.

Re: Karma - Dino
The Rotary engine make use of seals at the tip of each rotor. The same function as piston rings seals. If the engine stand for al while the seals lose some of the " sealing " and you loose compresion in the rotors when it spin. The extra oil in the engine help to seal the compresion and thus the start. " OLD trick still used " .
The clip below will give you a good idea on how it works;

Re: Karma - Dino
Trying to keep it old school , deep 1970`s dish and a big side wall. ( 15 x 295 x 60 ) at the back and (15 x 245 x 60) front. We are waiting for the adapters... have a look. I will re-shape the side wall arch to fit and make it look more round.
