Title: Info wanted
Post by: Desperate on January 22, 2006, 09:37:39 AM
I'm trying to answer a question on the Chopperbuilder forum Which way does a Reliant engine turn, looking at the crankshaft pulley (front)?
By the way, try www.chopperbuilder.co.uk

Probably gonna make myself look stoopid here -my Reliant's been off the road for a year now & the memory's getting a bit fuzzy! -but I'm fairly sure it spins clockwise as you're looking at the front of the engine. Haven't got a manual to hand here at the moment, but the prop turns the opposite way to most bike engines if that's any help!

No, really need to know which way it turns.

I'll check with Flap -his engine's wired up now so he can turn it over on the button. I'll let you know tomorrow if that's O.K

Right, Flap's been out & checked his & I was right -the crankshaft turns clockwise as you're looking at the front of the engine.
