Coke is good. Patience is best. I mess with a lot of old farm junk, and the best ring solvent I have found is trans fluid. New, used, whatever. On the smoke motors, you can pour it in the intake and exhaust, too. The piston is also both valves. Fill the case with it if you have enough. Since you...

That is really interesting. Nice find! Does the engine turn?

Did any of you folks bid on this pile of parts? I don't want to deny any of my forum friends these parts. If you want them, bid on them. They are not mine, but I am a Panther hoarder. :eek: If nobody from here lets me know they have bid, I might take it on Saturday.

Look at a trombone for ideas. Maybe a couple of O rings and a set screw to hold it where you want it? I agree that cam timing will be a factor. This might only adjust the intake runner to adjust for camshaft valve overlap. Interesting idea.

Now, that thing is cool!

Did you check my link in post #8? I think if that is the same company, it;s a big 2 stroke diesel

https://www.j-eng.co.jp/en/company/history.htmlhtml Looks like diesel boat power units, maybe?

Where did you find it and did you get pics? Will you sell it to me for $100 before you pick it up? I will pay shipping.

Moped with bicycle pedals and a cable shifted 2 speed?

Here is some info. https://oldminibikes.com/forum/index.php?threads/mikuni-selection-advice.167585/

That looks like the upgraded connecting rod and an aluminum flywheel. Find a crank and this looks like a performance engine...

I have a couple of Panthers, recently bought a D35 saw engine. I think I have a kart mount for it, but the reed plate is at about a 45 degree angle. I think an E65 reed plate will fit this block and basically convert the D35 saw engine into an E65 kart engine. Both have same bore and stroke...

My brother was a football player and a bully in High school. I was tall, slim and a Cross country runner, and a very good track runner in the mile and half mile. I joined the Marines on my 18th birthday and went to boot camp a month after high school. Came home for a week, then out to California...

My older brother and I have NOTHING in common except our parents. I have been fixing and building stuff since I was a kid. I now have several small barns full of tools and equipment. I'm not sure he owns a single screwdriver. I was and still am concerned with performance and reliability. He...

Just my initial thoughts.... it would seem that the gas evaporating in that thin tube would chill the tube, cooling the intake charge and boost performance slightly.
