Engine Dynamometers

Just how much horsepower can a motorbike drive belt handle?

Many new motorcycles make use of a belt as opposed to a chain to transfer the energy in the transmission towards the rear wheel. For my senior project my team is building an electric train engine dynamometer and that we are thinking about utilizing a motorcycle drive belt and pulleys established to connect the engine towards the brake. I’m wondering exactly what the greatest energy these kinds of devices are designed for. Thanks ahead of time.

The Buell 1125R is ranked at 146hp and it is belt-driven.

How to extend CDI ignition wires?

I have a Homelite 330 chainsaw which I had to replace the ignition module on with a newer module. The module is considerably smaller than the old one, and after making a plate to mount it on, I found that the spark plug wire is too short, and it is permanently part of the module. I know that the CDI module has some sort of noise damping system on high-tension lead, but will an extension ather the factory plug end affect this? I have a number of old Champion RJ19 plugs kicking around; I was considering smashing the insulator off one of these, cutting off the contact tip (the one the wire plugs onto) and soldering it to some solid core home wire with a clip on the other end to connect to the new plug, and then using this to bridge the gap after liberal wrapping with electrical tape, just for engine testing purposes.
I have also seen splice kits designed for motorcycles with CDI, would buying one of those and splicing in some automotive wire be a better permanent fix in the long run?

Those kits work quite well on saws, in my experience.
