INTRODUCTION
This workshop is
a compilation of discussions from the Virtual Indian
List relating to repair services on Indian crank assemblies. It is
divided into two sections:
THEORY
The discussion that
led up to the Flywheel Workshop deals primarily with practical theory behind
motor balancing for a V-twin. The Theory
part of this article is in the archives section of the VI website. You
may want to go there to clarify some points on flywheel theory. Basic explanations,
math and formulae, static and dynamic balancing, and a few other subjects
are treated.
PRACTICE
The second section
are 5 brief treatises I composed on Disassembly,
Inspection, Preparation,
static Balancing, and Assembly,
which are followed by comments and discussion. The
Machining step shall be subject for future discussions.
Extensive editing
was necessary to condense the wealth of posts on these subjects. Juxtaposing
posts and grammatical changes have been made in order to resemble syntax.
My apologies for the liberties I have taken, and to those of you whose
very pertinent posts were still squeezed out. |
