Very Nice! cant wait to see it run, Or see them being sold.
Today I was pondering the idea of linking two of them together from crankshaft to crankshaft with a chain for a simple twin engine setup.

Turns out somebody is already working on it!

Wow! I for sure am interested in buying one of these motors. I gather from all this that it's made in the USA?


Thanks,

the cranks are linked together with the clutch. still working out the bugs. took for ever to get the motor to run right on one carb. the one crank stoped before the other because of the crank gear key shearing off when you excelarate under load and during shut down. still working on the bugs. hopefuly it will be ready for production this wenter.

At what ange did you couple the cranks? Not sure what angle will work best, 55 degrees maybe?

There are so many stresses involved, especially as it is a twostroke,
I remember the coupling of Square Four Ariel's also was a weak point in the first year(s)
But I am sure it can work, with the right set-up and materials! :)

Succes with the build!
