clone angle degree
Does anyone know what degree the angle should be for safe clone operation since these are a splash type oiling system?

Re: clone angle degree
I think they need to be as level as possible.

Re: clone angle degree
Mine is at 1 heck of an angle. When I got it from the guy ,first thing I did was ck.oil level and it ran out of the dip stick hole for quite a while.

Re: clone angle degree
Yeah, 15 degrees is the figure used in go kart racing.

Re: clone angle degree
In the For What It's Worth category, there are a bunch of custom, boardtracker-style motorized bicycle racers who run 212cc clones in their racers with the cylinder straight up, i.e. perfectly vertical. They run these bikes for hours like that and hundreds of miles and don't report any oil starvation issues. Amazing. They might run a little more oil than stock, but that is about it, as far as I know.

Re: clone angle degree
For some reason, 15° is sticking in my head too. I think I've read that here somewhere.

Re: clone angle degree
Geoff got back with me and he said he prefers level to 10° positive (cylinder pointing upward) for safe operating angle on these splash lube clones.
