Just brought this engine , i had an zip air cooled and engine went in it so decided to buy a zip sp engine , Now i just needed to know what i needed to make it running. I know a couple things already but just wanted to now for deffo so i can order all together. So yeah thats it really just needed to now what is needed for that engine to be running in my zip frame? Thanksss
radiator and pipework. Ideally wiring harnessas its also got the temp guage in it, a set of clocks with the temp guage, expansion tank if I think of anything else i'll update the post
ive been told i could use my wiring loom from my zip a/c and do i really need the sp clocks with temp gauge or will it still work without it ? so the engine already as a temp gauge onit ? and what do u mean by expansion tank ??
dont necessarily need the temp guage but its favourable to know if its overheating. It will run with the original loom but again theres no temp wiring to attach the guage to the loom. The sender is installed in the head as standard Expansion bottle for the coolant to go to as the fluid expands when it gets hot. It has the rad cap on too to allow filling the system
To be honest i just want to get it running and aint botherd bout temp gage atm , i will end up getting another loom and clocks eventually and ooo yh the water bottle thats just next to the radiator , below the handle bars. So is this the expansion tank http://www.pedparts.co.uk/product/1414/piaggio-zip-sp-coolant-water-tank or is that just the water bottle and thats seperate
ok , just recieved my radiator and im not sure if its the correct one , when ordering it said zip sp radiator genieue etc. it dont look the placement wholes arnt in the correct place from when i put the radiator up against my frame
