Amoeba 013

[Shamal]

Hi guys.

Just finished putting amoeba back together after putting ball bearing piston head on and new tappet plate and air nozzle. Did a bit of shimming while I was in there along with some slippery goo.

Cut off old,broken motor connectors and put new ones on.

It's running 18:1 gears and has a m100 spring.

Anyway put it on the chrono and it's  putting out between 330 and 340 which I'm pleased with.

Switched to full and a two second pull returned a reading of 3333 which according to my calculator is 55.55 rps.

Is this even possible?? or is my chrono talking bollocks? Tried it again and same reading. It does sound fast but there again it always has.

That does seem ridiculously high on 18:1 gears.

I think your chrono is telling fibs. Even if you didn't suffer from mech issues, your still going need a motor with a no load speed north of 60k

Yes I agree it's not feasible with my setup.

I think the chrono is wrong.

I do remember couple of years ago it was around 30 rps.
