Yes, both Pitster Pro and Xingyue list the engine as 387cc output, W&G.

I'll have to use this opportunity to show Son of Weldangrind that he really will use the math he's learning now.
I wonder what sort of mods are needed to get the Rotax top end to fit? I'm not about to liquid-cool my XR, but I am curious.

Thread from hell is back!
Pictures first:
Weld and Grind was kind enough to sport me a stator cover from some flavor of honda that is a 1:1 match to the pitster 400. If you notice the center engine shaft bolt cover is tore up from the floor up and was impossibe to remove - until my 10 year old daughter told me to get a 1/2 chisel, some vice grips, and use heat . I got the center cap off in about 45 mins. Here is a before pic: This morning I spent like 4 hours sanding this puppy. It was in pretty bad shape, but here is an 'after pic' Here is the cover with about 8 coats of Krylon flat black: As soon as it is dry I need to flip it and paint the back side. One that is handled I'll put the whole puppy back together and move on! I forgot to wear a mask when sanding so I've had a perpetual nose bleed going on like 5 hours now. Safety Tip: Wear a mask when sanding! I wore hearing protection and safety goggles with thick leather gloves tho . Daddy 8) |

I don't think I would paint the inside of the stator cover. I believe the stator is bathed in hot engine oil.

I agree with Spud's logic. I presume that the cover is aluminum, so there's no rust concern.
Glad to hear that the inspection plug came out. When Son of Weldangrind was a little tyke, he guided me towards using different tools to test an ignition module, and he was exactly right. Gotta love how kids approach things from a fresh angle.

I'm just painting the outside part - like the original. On the back side there is a small area between the starter and the stator area that needed to be painted (I guess it would bug me knowing it wasn't done - OCD to the rescue!)

Good news: I got the stator cover back on and the color matches exactly. Bad news: my blackberry died so I don't have any picts till this afternoon :(.
