Clark Engine & Ramos Kit - more history at TBO
Posted: Tue Sep 04, 2007 10:31 am
Jack and "Torque" continued the Clark history lesson at TBO this year. They managed to come up with one of the early "shotgun" fan cooled models that used the original PowerProducts cylinder. They also brought the optional fan shroud/ignition housing for the later model Clark that was featured in an article on the REAR website following its appearance at last years TBO.
Look for a bunch of Clark engine photos I took about the middle of the page in photo set 1:

Also, along the same idea as the Clark engine, we saw a Ramos PowerProducts conversion kit that Brian Thomas brought to show off (photos below).
The PP engine had some short comings in the crankcase department: breakage, cylinder coming loose, no direct feed of transfers, no easy place to add another carb/reed..... The Clark and Ramos kit sought to solve the short comings.
