Don't pitch the frame, could be of value to someone here repairing a similar one.

Lancer Rupp to Jefferies
Trying to date my two Lancers, a late Enduro Chaparral clone, and a Big J sidewinder sprint. Question is when did Rupp stop making Lancers and when did Big J start? Thanks, Dave

Re: Will Rogers' Disston/PP-58
John, I have one of the later engines, and found an old article from '61, will have to dig it out. The jist is the writer was able to get 24hp ! out of a 211A version without touching the ports or compression. The most important mods were a large reedcage, carb, straight pipes (not megaphones) and a...

Re: Wiseco 9 port westbend 820 piston?
If memory is correct, these used the shorter 610 wrist pin. Dave does a perfect job on the rear ports.

Gordon Jennings Two-stroke tuners handbook, and old karting magazines 1959-65 are best sorces.

Re: Reed 453 manifold
Thanks Louie, All I had were the bases, and could not figure out what the top and cage configuration was. That makes sense.

Reed 453 manifold
Have two Reed 453 manifolds for the 820, minus the cages and carb mount. These have an opening that does not seem to fit any cage that I am familiar with, a slot about 1.0X1.75".

Re: Carburetor choice for MC-6
There are loads of HL232's around, used on the early US820 west Bends, that should work perfetly and have the early style body. The smaller bore than the Rotary vale 0.900" carbs would be great for early engines. I have a pile if you want one. Dave

Re: need advise on damaged frame issues

Re: Clutch oil for a Hartman?
Jay, Metal shoe wet clutches like the Burco use 90wt. gear oils, organic or asbestos lined ones use a very light oil like ATF. Redline makes a high temperature version available from your local dealer or Summit racing. Works great in tow vehicles too. Dave
