Mini Pan Head V-Twin First Attempt at Start-Up - Cison V2 Now with Part 2 It Runs...!!!
« on: November 27, 2021, 09:12:47 pm »
.
I finally got a bit of free time to try to start the V-Twin Harley Panhead replica in miniature.
Wants to run but I have a learning curve and a good fuel tank will be helpful.

Enjoy,

Gil

Its a sharp looking V twin , much smaller than I assumed. I see plenty of bubbles in the fuel line Gil...I blow into the fuel tank while slightly cracking the line at the carburetor on 1st start up to help start my hit N miss engines

Gil this is a very nice Pan Head and it works like the Originals -
It needs gas to work and no air bubbles - haha
Thanks for the demonstration..

They sure sound great when you get them running  8)  Are they sold as ready-to-run?

Hi Nick, Yes because you can hook 'em up and run 'em.

No because they need a base or padded vice and you need a battery box, fuel line and tank.

I just gave it a quick test with 6 volts instead of 4.5. 

It makes all the difference in the world.

Runs like a champ now!

Will do a video as time allows.

As promised...... 

A video of it running pretty nicely!

The only problem was not enough electric power.
I wrote Mona at Stirlingkit and requested the proper voltage.
She reached out to the maker and got back to me with 6-12 volts
I was leery of anything over 4.5 v because some of the ignitions on Jin's engines will fry with 6 v or more.

Enjoy,

Gil

Makes as much noise as a usual Harley and about as reliable
But well done on your perseverance and success

Amazing.  When does the miniature bike arrive?!?

Rig it so the bike follows a track!

This is too cool.  Thanks for sharing!
