    Franklin Engines

    What is the current state of affairs with Franklin engines? Parts availability, knowledge base, I see a few things pop up but I can't get ahold of Southern Aero or Franklin Aerospace due to my current location and some connectivity issues. I can see HBA good though! I'm looking at a 235 4 cyl...

    Parts Wanted I need a fuel valve!

    I just got your message, I already sourced a valve unfortunately. SPRL is on indefinite back order, should be an easy sell if you post it up! Thanks regardless!

    SDS EM-6 Flight Testing Begins

    Congrats. Development is a long haul sometimes, it's expensive, and it never ends... Retroactive upgrading customers from the past 5 years goes above and beyond any form of general customer service, folks this is what genuine integrity looks like.

    Parts Wanted I need a fuel valve!

    I need a fuel selector valve. SPRL V9 or 10 4 way would work just fine for the application, Andair would too but expensive! SPRL is on indefinite back order, any other options out there? Anybody have something they want to get rid of? Thanks in advance, Mark

    I need some bolts...

    The closest bolts I could dig up were flywheel bolts, was hoping to find something from a different application that would fit but no luck!

    I need some bolts...

    The coupler for the guibo is about 2" long but I could machine a different coupler/adapter. Good suggestion, thanks. Finding the proper bolt is almost impossible, lots 25mm and shorter.

    I need some bolts...

    I am putting together a Honda 1.5L with SDS EM5 and a SPG4 gear box. I picked up a lightweight chrome moly flywheel that I'd rather use over the flex plate, I'll take the hit in weight for the benefits of inertia. I am running into the need for 6 M12 x 1.0 x 35MM bolts, the 1.0 thread pitch is...

    Redundant EFI for Yamaha Engines

    Check out badasspowersports.com they are the North American distributor for Edge Performance. I know a few guys flying the Yamaha including the owner, they work great. I believe you can pick up a complete efi system from them designed, built, and tuned for the application. As stated earlier...

    Belt drive

    Agreed, I'm using the same engine with your SDS EM5, and using every available bellhousing bolt, there are 3 more available than the pic shows so I'd assume not all parts are installed as well. Thanks for the pic, saw something helpful to me.

    Belt drive

    The soft element looks like an automotive clutch friction disc with the friction pads knocked off and bolted to to flywheel face, economical, probably quite effective, when the springs are fatigued they'd probably become quite audible. Even if the springs fail it would still drive the shaft, has...

    Honda R18Z9 DIY proof of concept build comment thread

    Hi Keith, I have been assured my gear box will arrive, I did order it a little earlier, I guess we will see how politics affects this delivery. I am located in Alberta Canada, that may make a difference. I did reach out to Aeromotive after I discovered they sell the gear box separately. That...

    Honda R18Z9 DIY proof of concept build comment thread

    Thanks for posting this, about half the reason I signed up! I am in the process of assembling my own fwf system with a Fit engine. I was looking for the engine you chose but there was nothing to be had in my area. I found a 2008 with 18 000 km or 11 000 miles on it, I have a SPG4 on order...
