Any other suggestions or adds I need to make?
So
Looking trough the local craigslist, I came across an portable engine run stand for $40. I figured I couldn't buy the steel for that SO I popped on it. Over the successive time period I bought parts and pieces AND now i am at the point of configuring, fabricating brackets and installing all the meters and wiring. SO anyone have one and see anything I need to add or configure on mine? I have a manual water temp gauge, I have installed a 12V blue lighted switch on a 12V lawn and garden battery for the new Aluminum radiator with built in cooling fan so I can control the cooling with that. Mechanical oil pressure gauge, and an ammeter. I have a toggle switch for the 6V on off switch and will install a new 6V starter switch for the current "key" switch now. I am fabbing the radiator mounting brackets today and I think I will go with a little bit larger fuel tank that will feed the motor by gravity as it will mount higher than the motor will sit once in the stand. Any other suggestions or changes you would make or change would be appreciated. I still will be working on a more "permanent" mounting for the motor BUT for now the first engine I plan to run is already mounted on a cradle that I plan on clamping to the frame of the stand.
