Pistons and connecting rods and modified crankcase from model B-3 Racer, Air-cooled cylinder heads. Damper in the exhaust horns to find the appropriate back pressure. The engine was a prototype in an example that was never used in competition Cylinder diameter: 79 mm Stroke: 64 mm Cylinder volume: 492 cc Carburetor: Vacturi Internal rotating slide -135 degrees / +44 degrees TDC and piston-controlled intake 42 degrees TDC Flushing system: Two-stroke, cross flushing.
Ignition: initially battery with switch, now “Runtronic”, switchless.
Fuel: Methanol with 8% castor oil
Curiosities Börje Olsson:
