It is becoming increasingly difficult to find new directional light lenses for the two-stroke bullnose Saabs. Or actually it seems almost impossible. And I need four of them for the Saab Sport – and a few spares wouldn’t hurt. I have a few lenses that are in more or less decent shape, so I figured I… Continue reading Polyester resin casting new light lens for a bullnose Saab

Brake job for the 1964 Saab two-stroke
While I was visiting Saab Festival in Trollhättan dad did a little brake job on the two-stroke. I’ll do a post on the Festival later – when I have time to write. But here’s a few photos of replacing the brake linings on the front drum brakes.
Triple-carburetor engine jetting and lambda
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
Getting the two-stroke ready for the summer – done
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.
Getting the two-stroke ready for the summer
Just a quick update. The two-stroke is pretty much ready for the summer. I installed all the stuff I was planning on (lambda meter, steering rack, engine and gearbox mounts, revcounter and a backup light). A few photos: I think between the lambda meter and the revcounter I will get pretty good info on the… Continue reading Getting the two-stroke ready for the summer
Steering rack problems – two-stroke
It’s time to do some spring maintenance on the two-stroke. The most important thing I had on the to-do list was the steering rack. There was clearly some play on the rack. Not good. I also wanted to fit the lambda gauge I bought last summer. The first thing to do was to pull the… Continue reading Steering rack problems – two-stroke
Triboron nano boron two-stroke lubricant
This is a semi-sponsored story in the sense that I got a free sample of the Triboron 2-takts koncentrat on the condition that I would test it and write about it in my blog. But I also think that this is something that would interest other two-stroke enthusiasts. Triboron is a Swedish company and had… Continue reading Triboron nano boron two-stroke lubricant
Airflow and suspension issues – two stroke
While we were driving in Sweden the two-stroke was having some overheating issues because of the very warm weather …and due to the fact that we were blasting “full speed” on the highways for several hours on one sitting. I could maintain a speed of about 100 km/h, but anything over that I had to… Continue reading Airflow and suspension issues – two stroke
My trip to Trollhättan
The trip to Trollhättan started on Wednesday from my garage at Nokia, Finland. I drove my two stroke to Turku where I met Tikkis and Sami who brought the V4 Rally on a trailer. The V4 was offloaded (we left the trailer at a fellow saab club member Tero Setäläs shop) and we continued on… Continue reading My trip to Trollhättan
Saab two stroke trailer hitch
I decided to put a trailer hitch on the two stroke. Basically just in case I need to take something bigger to a club event. I had an original Saab 95 trailer hitch that I did not need so I exchanged it to the 96 model with a fellow Saab Club member Vesa. It had… Continue reading Saab two stroke trailer hitch
