Power is nothing without control. Weight is enemy of performance, handling and braking.

I know why my temps where elevated above the normal 90deg c on track...the waterpump has been under drive pulley has been slipping on the back of the belt...its polished the knurling off.

Jon, if you have an under drive pulley on the pump please dump it and get a stock one.

I swore I would never sell under drive pulleys for any Rotary as the last thing you need is water flowing around a hot Rotary Slower !!
All the best Clive
