I think FB Konig, too....but I was going to wait....

I think the magneto is gear driven and it is a third port... but, Sam, I should know better than EVEN consider arguing with you... It is like arguing with my brother, hell, he knows!!! I'm guessing...

Just seems like the motors Marcel had when he moved here from Canada, in 1960...

I knew, I didn't know!!!!

FB and third port... may have blended together.. Ted May went 94 MPH for a kilo record with a third port owned by Harry Bartolomei... In the '60's I was a STOCKER....

The FB of that type was the last of the deflector piston engines. Bolt together crank,seperate cylinders and a one piece head to help hold it all together. That big "ring" beneath the crank plate is a weight, very heavy. I'm just guessing here, but I hope i'm close. I have one just like it, but its only half, meaning a one cylinder 11ci midget engine.

Thomas, where yall been? i got a new engine the other day, mono block aluminum alternate firing, one carburetor, loop charged, Bosch magneto and would have been run in the John Ward trophy race. i should have pics(silver nitrate) someday soon.

hey Eric- No wonder you did so good in 125ccH against 7.5 cu.in. engines! LOL!

Here is what the modular crankshaft amounted to:

In the bottom image you can see 2 rotary valves. One appears to be phenolic and the other nylon.

Close up of the crank section

This is a top segment with the spindel to accept the flywheel at the lower right. The pin to the lower right of the serated teeth is the rotor locating pin.
