Pantah With 900 Monster Engine

Discussion in 'Builds & Projects' started by budgie955, Apr 23, 2024.

  1. HI All
    I have acquired a pantah rolling chassis with a 900 monster engine loosely fitted
    Any advice on completing the build gratefully received
    Thanks

  2. I feel sure there are a number of people on here who may be able to provide advice however a little more detail may be required regarding the current state of the project and what needs to be completed.

  3. It's been stood many years , the engine robbed for racing, its a full refurb , but the plan is to build it up , get the exhaust manufactured, then pull apart for powder coating , painting etc. I'm guessing monster electrics will be required? Will monster engine run on pantah ignition system? The original swinging arm has already been adapted to fit the 900 engine
    Pics to follow
     
  4. No, you'll need to fit the Monster ignition system.
     
  5. Thought as much.
     
  6. I'd run Ignitech ignition if planning on using carbs as they can make it to suit your needs

  7. Thanks i will look into it
     
  8. Its actually a 900SS IE motor, I plan to run carbs tho, wondering about the ignition system, pick ups etc
     
  9. Tell ignitech and you will get the correct set up including the junior power connector for the pulser coil. You'll then only have to wire up the remaining 4 wires which are positive, earth, coil 1 and coil 2. Also fit mosfet regulator/rectifier at same time which will suit 3 phase ie generator.

  10. Brilliant!
    Thanks v much
     
  11. So
    Ignition unit bought and wired up today,
    Spun the engine ....no spark
    Checked connections , checked the earth , all correct , so I don't know what's up .
    Stuck a multi meter on the ignition unit and there's very little voltage coming out , 0.5 volt, there's definitely 12v going in ,
    Frustrating is an understatement, I've emailed ignitech ,but no response as yet
    Any thoughts anyone ?
    Cheers
    Dave

  13. Update
    The beast runs , but way too rich , so the carbs need work and I'm not happy how the carb on the front pot sits, major rethink there or...2 into 1 inlet manifold and 1 big carb ..apparentlythe scrambler uses this set up with injection .any thoughts anyone ?

  14. Here's my Pantah with a 900 engine, good idea running the later ie engine that doesn't have the oil return lines, it's a pain to get around (second pictures shows adapter required). I've fired it up but have been too busy to get it dialled in, I'm running stock ignition and PHM40's. IMG_7548.JPG

  16. Hi CJBarber
    Lovely bike.
    May i ask about the fuel tank?
    Is it home made or came from a manufacturer?
    Thank you
    Filippo
