holy crap .... that should hit the 50 mark you were looking for ...

 

[ironman]

one motor all way together second has carb and a few other parts off and third one is missing a head. i also got a box of part 3 extra carbs. to extra pull ropes and a bunch of other goodies.

any info you guys might know would help i don't know really much about this type of motor but. damn for 100.00 i don't think i did bad :biggrin5:

 

[ironman]

holy crap .... that should hit the 50 mark you were looking for ...

o no we are aiming higher than that now i hope.

 

[847]

you should get your gear ratios, then do some math figure those motors can hit atleast 10k .....

HOLY CRAP WHAT A FIND.

 

[ironman]

yea but im worried i have been on goggle for about 2 hours no luck on any info on these motor i have seen that they do make a silmar model in snow sleds but not the same motor.

Ironman..... think of watching world cup soccer on tv....
SCOOOOOOOOOORRRREEE! SCOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooorrre!
For what it's worth, a lot of the DIY airplane motors are Rotax.... maybe that might be a place to start?

 

[Jerryburger]

OOOps! Re-read your post. Chaparral motors show up a lot on Snowmobile forums. Those motors are SWEET!

 

[redcali]

yea and that the engines came with spares including 'pull ropes' suggests probably not plane engines.

i have Never heard of or seen a plane that is started with a pull rope. if they were to small for electric start they were usually crank started by spinning the prop correct?

also by bi-plane. to what does the bi refer to. twin engine? or twin cyl?

 

[847]

direction maybe? or is that with the two blades going opposite direction .... crap, brain fart.

 

[redcali]

alright i wiki'd it! it actually refers to the double winged planes!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biplane

theres also this which might be of interest to iron man!
The vast majority of biplane designs have been fitted with reciprocating engines of comparatively low power; exceptions include the Antonov An-3 and WSK-Mielec M-15 Belphegor, fitted with turboprop and turbofan engines, respectively. Some older biplane designs, such as the Grumman Ag Cat and the aforementioned An-2 (in the form of the An-3) are available in upgraded versions with turboprop engines.

Awesome find!

That's a HUGE crankshaft... I see some problems with mounting the clutch

 

[oscaryu1]

Then I also see the problem of how they'll fit on the frame... and then where you're going to put that gimongous gas tank...

I focus on the best parts, don't I?

sounds sweet....

and reallly fast too!

yes i can not believe it but i have join the dark side with russ and kibble.

dont forget meh aswell, I love 2 strokes far more than 4s

Right now I'm working on mounting a 750cc 2 cylinder jet ski engine to my kart.




whoa.... just looked at the pics...Those are some very...very nice engines you have there.
They look a lot like snowmobile engines. You could probably get a snowmobile drive off of ebay and put it on there and it should work with not much modification


AAAH!! Im still in shock over how you got all those beautiful engines for just $100!!!

There worth like at least 700 each because theyre in great condition

 

[ironman]

i know was a old man he had them in his garage and said he had no need for them due to a heart attack he had.so he seen i like karts and said 100.00 its all yours.
what i meant by bi-plane is these motors were on the little one man planes or power gliders that you run and take off.
the old man said he bought them from a lady that was going threw a breakup and said alll his stuff must go.
thats all i know.

 

[Jerryburger]

....either way, you're looking at 35-40hp to do your bidding! The few Chaparral engines I was able to find specs on were all rated "x" hp @ 5800 rpm, which means you've got an easy, dependable 6000 rpm at your disposal. Now, it's no problem to run a 3:1 ratio with a Comet Tq converter. (72mph with 12" wheels.)

 

[I like karts]

also by bi-plane. to what does the bi refer to.

two sets of wings.

like this:

I must see one in action!
