well, we jjust picked up a old kholer 300-340 2 stroke single cyliner snowobile engine, its gettin torn down and cleaned, it was ran on a kart and the guy sadi it was too fast so he took it off, its goin on the trike, it has a custom drag styly pipe, but we'r changin it up a lil, gonna look alot diff from the pics i'm gonna post when we'r done

 

[Blasterdude27]

Sweet dude! Cool stuff.

 

[yzrider]

the engine has been sitting so the carb is gettin cleaned and everythign is gettin taken apart and cleaned, fresh plug, check wires, all the goodies, here's the pics u'v been dieing for!

 

[yzrider]

i need a clamp on filter, a pulley that will pull a belt to the torque converter that is on the kart, and i need a few other things, and then it'll eb good

 

[yzrider]

should i run this thing on 32:1 premix, or 50:1 or what? it'd be nice to use the same gas for the blaster and the kart

 

[Blasterdude27]

Whatever your running in your blasty you can run in the sled engine.

Now you've got my wheels turning!

this engine is a kohler k309 ( 309cc) it has no reed block set up, so i imagin that they didn't have reeds back then, it was made in either the late 60's or early 70's

 

[yzrider]

update on the 3 wheel one, it needs tubes in the tires need 2 new band brake peices, cables and levers, need throttle. and i was chackin it out, it has a torque converter, i just need the pullet for the engine, and a belt. also, one of the flat tires wouldn't spin cause it was pressed in, so i just dragged it and when i did the other tire still spun, i looked, and it has a differential axle!!!!! now i know why it has 2 separate brakes!

 

[Blasterdude27]

Ah a piston ported 2stroke. Sweet.

They had reeds back then.... if fact they had power valves too, but the r&d wasn't there, most builders weren't sold on reeds yet being the only real gains were off idle and about 1500 rpm. The large benefit was the reeds stopped the charge of fuel and air from going back through the carb choking it up ( say lugging through the woods ). It wasn't until durations got higher and expansion chambers improved that reeds really started being used.

[yzrider]

the dude who had it before said that his wie bought a kart for their son that had that engine, he said he ran it up the road and nearly shat himself, he took it off and put a smaller engine on and its bene sitting since, i have to figure out where the oil goes in for the bottom end tho, idk where the plug is!

 

[REEDracing94]
