    Welcome to the site. How well does the Dutton go with a bike engine? Do you need lots of revs to get away from standstill?

    Dutton%206.jpgHi James,

    thx for your welcome. I think the configuration is okay. The bike engine is powerful and in fact I am a biker so the connection with my (other) love is guaranteed. And yes, one of the characteristics of a bike engine is that the power comes out at the higher revs, compared with a car engine.

    But due to the low weight of a kitcar I think it is acceptable.

    So, I need more revs but not 12.000 and at the same time, I like it! The sound comes with the revs. :-).

    There is a strange sound in the engine and it is spitting cooling liquid (I think a leakage in the cylinder head)

    and I want to inspect the drive train and I don't like the gearbox (heavy, oil leaking and only there for the reverse) so I have a small restoration in mind. :-).
