Fan And Excelorator Cable

Posted By : Danial Phoenix, 06-May-2007, 00:13am

just changed my metal fan with bent over tips and 2 tips snaped off, for a nice yellow plastic one, had to spacer it out a bit and fit it opossit way round due to lack of clearance, looks a lot better now, but was bit close to fan belt, so had to cut bit of back of each blade.

fitted a nice new excelerator cable, old one was so still i used a tight spring to return the carbs and the cable back, new one means I dont need the extra spring, but has made the pedal so easy to press without it, that it feels super light and easy to excelerate, no more shoving it down, just an easy press, much better now

Danial, i maybe making a numptee of myself here, but if you tuirn the fan round the wrong way, does it not blow the other way and stop doing it's job properly?
don't want you overheating do we?

  Come on Calvin, wake up! It will not matter which way around the fan fits. Its the direction it goes round that matters. You knew that really

    Are but the blades are nicely curved so it won't be so efficient when it's on back to front.

        no the fan is the same either way roung as the blades are at the same angle and not curved just set at an angle.

        if it helps the newer ones you can buy do have a curve to the fan blade, but angle would be same either way round.
