Triple-carburetor engine jetting and lambda

I went through a bunch of spare carburetors I have and found a handful of main jets ranging from 115, 120, 130 to 135.

Since I put the lambda gauge in the two-stroke I noticed that it’s running a little on the lean side. The engine is the 1966 triple-carburetor version. I figured the problem has to be the main jets since adjusting the mixture screw didn’t help. I had 120-135-120 main jets in at the time (that’s 1.2… Continue reading Triple-carburetor engine jetting and lambda

Saab 96 V4 Rally – paint

The roof still needs the blue and the sides need the blue&white stripes.

Painting a few bits and pieces:

Saab 96 Rally – a quick update

Just a few photos – I’m working on getting rest of the tins and body ready for paint, so nothing too exciting going on right now… Going through some boxes at home I came upon these old Saab-stickers. I think they’ll go on the “Rally”.

Saab 96 Rally – Sump guard

I already painted a good pair of front fenders but decided not to put such good pieces on the car. So I will recycle a couple of not so good Saab 95 fenders...

I sent the engine to the machinist a few days ago. I should get it back in about two or three weeks. And I made a little proggress on the rallycar. Mainly painting a few bits and pieces, and preparing the sump guard. I found the old sump guard but it was missing quite a… Continue reading Saab 96 Rally – Sump guard

Saab 96 Rally – gearbox maintenance

Gearbox done.

We decided to go through the gearbox and check if there’s any problems. Fortunately no major issues but there were some that needed to be fixed. Some photos and explanations:

Saab 96 Custom – Helga

Yesterday was the Saab-Club Finland spring meeting. I’ll post some general photos in another post, but here’s some photos of a really nice Saab 96 custom called “Helga”. Apparently the car draws inspiration from a comic “Hagar The Horrible”. I remember reading it as a kid, and I just had to dig up something to… Continue reading Saab 96 Custom – Helga

Getting the two-stroke ready for the summer – done

The passenger side tie rod is not quite as accessible...

The two-stroke is ready for the driving season. There’s actually a Saab-Club Finland spring meeting a week from now and I decided to take the stroker there.
