Don't let anybody catch you staring at this too long.

Ed Erlenbach put this map at the end of the Yamaha TSI and if he ever tuned a 500 boy would I like to ride it. Yeah and then take it apart.

 

 


A look at the big trench that feeds the lower end. This is one of the things I would like to have asked the engineers at the big reunion about? It looks unfinished. Was there a conflict between design teams? They got yanked off the job? They couldn't sell it in Japan with 66HP's so they just quit? What did they really want it to look like?

I'm going to finish the path going down and forward. I started by cutting an arch on the bottom of the cylinder as close to parallel with the crankwheel as I could. Its up to the edge of the chamfer thats already there so no lost liner for piston support. Its only about 5mm higher in the center but should flow much easier. The rod goes up on the intake stroke on the exhaust side of the cylinder so this is what the air flows through on the whole upstroke. I took the pic with a 2" x 3" oval mirror my neice Margaret donated to the project and it has a bad ghost image. Have since bought a mirror from a camera repair shop but havn't cut it to size yet.


The same O ring that was in the intake.
