Trevor, can't respond directly to any of your questions but I do have a
comment along the same theme. I run an electric fan on my 4A and as a
result, I was able to loose the 7-8 lb. blade extension that runs
precariously close to the top of the steering rack. As a matter of fact,
there was a shiny band right around the extension where it had rubbed on the
rack after breaking a motor mount on one of the East Coat's notorious Spring
potholes. I might add that mine isn't the only TR I'v seen with this shiny
band around the extension. Loosing the extra weight is similar to
lightening the flywheel, you get a free-er (typo?) reving engine. Now
before somebody jumps in and comments that the shaft acts as some sort of
harmonic balance for the crank, I have run this configuarion for a few years
without experiencing any troubles. Comments?
