How much modn is there ??
Going by memory that is not a KX cylinder its a Honda cylinder with a Kawisucki intake and exhaust welded on then a new sleeve installed so it can run the KX 500 piston, with the stroke its less than 500cc but revs really well, think Renni said they were about 90HP. This was a very labor intensive design that worked I would make sure not to change a single thing.
Hoser is right, they are crazy rev engines.They lightened internals, no charging system Bob Briggs stuff was able to turn 10K,or so I was told. Kinda scary! Lots of different designs,but most were 80-95 HP. How have you been H? Doing a 10 year summer of 6s reunion tour??? Would love to ride with ya again.
Thanks Fully, glad to finally be getting back to some normal life stuff...and back to my passion of buggies!!!
Not hijacking a thing Bob, post away!!! very interesting setup. The dual slot reed stuffer thing reminds me a whole lot of the ESR design. I will find a picture.... The carbs all these guy used is the Mikuni Super BN 44/46mm. I traded the one spare i had to Rusty or may be Chad a few years ago. I have like 5 more but all are on engines so don't wanna give em up. I will post some pics... Also,you still want that HRD pilot clutch?
Imagine if they were 80 HP but turning 10k RPM that's about 2000 more power strokes per minute than the average race Pilot Engine.
Yeah I would like to do another summer of the Six's that was a epic trip will have to see if I can pull it off will depend on work and stuff, life has been really busy almost out of control busy. Weather is breaking here so need to do some maintenance work on the RV before next trip, exhaust manifold gasket leak, install new rear tires, rebuild generator
Engine (has like 1800 hrs) OR replace generator with the one out of the Bus project its still like new.
