force fed phase 1

I dream of running my dragbike on alky...mechanically injected. So I have a few bits that need some major mods to fit my shitshow, but first was trying to figure out how to run the pump. 

Plan is to maybe run the fire as a total loss with recharge in the pits, or even better a mag-neat-oh but thats a shitton more work and more money I don't have.... 

anyways, did some ciphering and figured out the ratios at the clutch shell that spins the alty and then back-figured what I needed to slow the pump down to half crank speed. 

off the shelf pulleys and a little XL belt may just do it.

or not.



Gordo Cooper wanted a window too.

Arts and crafts!


The whole show is transmitted thru setscrews

20 minute setup for a 2 minute pass

So, after a few belt lengths...





The alty shaft has been modifed to a hex too, to allow for external rotation or remote starting....
