The 1835cc


The season ended and so I could start with rebuilding my engine. I found an engine that was completely rebuild and hadn't run 1 km. An AS41 case with 90.5mm pistons an Engle 110 cam and slightly worked cylinderheads. I bought it without any hesitation and it felt good. The only thing that had to be done was putting it back together. A few hours every evening and at the end of the week we brought to two halves back to one piece. I chose to fit a pair of 36er Dell'Orto carbs. An additional oil sump was fitted, a breatherbox from custom speedparts was brought into place and all necessary changes were completed. Then we started to modify the wiring in the motorcompartment: all the wires for the gauges, electrical fuel pump and electronic ignition were brought into place and so we could refit the engine. The exhaust was recuperated from the 1600cc engine and all of the sheet metal repainted. We first tested the engine on a improvised( but very good ) bench and the carbs were sychronized and minor adjustments forfilled.
