Thank you!

Very nice job! Question, what size tire/wheels are those?

The driver of the fiat is named Jim Miles. He is one of the original members of my car club the Burbank Road Kings which was started in 1952. Jim is now about 88 or so years old. I think the photo was shot at Lions Drag Strip in San Fernando CA in about 1965. Look close and you can see the...

Ole, I know this thread is three years old, but thank you for sharing all that information. I just got a serious education from you and a ton of practical information and tricks. If you don't mind me asking, what are you using for a flow bench? Is it a commercial unit or something you made...

I am digging that Vega wagon!!!!!!

Ole4 What front fork assembly are you using? It looks interesting for a project I am thinking about. Thanks Ron

There is more to having good compression on a two stroke engine. The crank shaft has seals too that much be in good condition or you will not pull the fuel mixture into the chamber.

Can you tell me what front tire that is? Brand?
