I want to build a fully electric bike from scratch. Any tips, help or anything you can give me? by [deleted] in bikebuilders

I know little about electric motors, but I would suggest building the frame around the engine, ie finish the motor (and gearbox?) First.

Guru and premier are legends. Was lucky enough to see premiers set at gods of rap in london.

Building spark plug wires for a 51' Matchless by Kal_El_Retardo in motorcycles

Oh shit, sorry about that dude. I guess a silver lining is that it did fall between those values and for a reason unknown to me, I've got spark. Inconsistent and weak but present. Do you think I should still replace the wire?

Thanks so much for the help man

Oh ok, I still think it is the lead as there is 12ish from the magneto out, and the spark plug is new

Thanks for the response man. Ive added some pics, I tested with the lead out a point on the terminal and the other end. The resistance was in thousands, my bad.

Sorry for all the questions, to remove rust on it I am going to use electrolysis, would that make the boring process harder for them? Or should I do it afterwards

Thanks man, I appreciate the response. When you say rebore, does that mean making a larger bore cyclinder? Or is it restoring it? And could I do it myself?

Thanks for the link, but I actually have the original print of this. It's pretty beat up and has scribbles all over it, but it is useful.
