supertrapp on rotary

I recently mounted a supertrapp on a norton rotary engine, and the discs were glowing. I don't think that this is a good thing. Does anyone have any experience with supertrapps on rotary engines? If so, how many discs would be advisable for a 40 hp. engine with a 1 inch outlet?

Wow, a Rotary. Don't think there is much experience on the board here with Rotaries. You may be the only one.
I certainly can't help you but wanted to say hello.

Hello and welcome.

I think "nortonf1" owns a rotary, so that makes two rotary owners on the board now! Perhaps he has some insights.

Anyway, welcome to the forum!

Hey bschn140 i honestly wouldn't worry about it, a rotary engine has higher than normal exhaust temps of upwards of 2000ºF!!! As long as things arent's backfiring or running lean i think you'll be ok, although you might melt or blow up a muffler. Thats my experience with "cheap" RX7 rotary mufflers. But to answer your question about the supertrapp, i've got no insight.

This forum doesn't really deal with rotary Nortons so I'm not sure you will get an answer from anyone here who has owned a Norton rotary and experienced this problem.
But somebody who might be able to give some advice would be Graham at Startright Motorcycles http://www.startright.co.uk/index.php?m ... e403eade43

Thanks for the advice, and thanks for those websites. They are a real help.
