As I promised in the previous post – here’s a bit more info on what we did to fix the fuel issues on the two-stroke: So – as we suspected the fuel intake pipe in the fuel tank had become corroded during the long period the car was stored outside before I bought it. On… Continue reading Fuel system repair on the two-stroke

Saab Club driving season opened once again
Yesterday we had the Old And Classic Saab Meet at Hyvinkää. I and a fellow two-stroke saabisti Vesa participated. I took the white ’64 and Vesa brought his very original condition 1961 Saab 95. Last weekend I had to replace the complete fuel system for my stroker (including the fuel tank and fuel pump). I’ll… Continue reading Saab Club driving season opened once again
Lockheed brake master cylinder, V4 corrosion repair, two stroke fuel lines
Just a little update. I promised to do some welding on a V4. The corrosion was worse than it looked (as it always is) but we got it done. I have also been collecting parts to fix the fuel issues with the two-stroke. And I started to fix the Lockheed brake master cylinder of the… Continue reading Lockheed brake master cylinder, V4 corrosion repair, two stroke fuel lines
Saab Sport seats for the two stroke
I found two Saab Sport seats earlier but they were in a bad shape (re-upholstered badly). A fellow Saab Club member Briitta promised to sew new covers for me. It took a while but the seats are finally done and I put them in the car already. Here’s some photos of the process and the… Continue reading Saab Sport seats for the two stroke
Ditch light for the two-stroke
I wrote earlier that I put a fog light on the two-stroke. Actually I think the technically correct name for it is a ditch light. (And I remembered the brand wrong – It’s Johnson, not Marchall). A ditch light is basically a driving light aimed at the right side of the road (the ditch side)… Continue reading Ditch light for the two-stroke
Practical improvements for the two stroke
Now that I have been doing a little more driving with the two-stroke some more little issues have surfaced. Here’s some fix ups and photos: Windscreen rubber seal is leaking (and the rear window also). I removed the aluminium strips to be able to lift the rubber a little and inject some window sealer under… Continue reading Practical improvements for the two stroke
Spare engine for the two-stroke, part 3
We got the crank installed to the spare block yesterday. Some photos: Here’s something I have found on almost all Saab two-stroke engines I have dismantled: A destroyed distributor drive gear. So – what causes this? The gear that is on the distributor shaft is positioned slightly off-center compared to the drive gear on the… Continue reading Spare engine for the two-stroke, part 3
Seat belts for the two stroke
In anticipation of next summer I decided it was time to put seat belts on the ’64 Sedan. I do have some original two-stroke Klippan belts but decided to spare those for the Sport. What I do have plenty are V4 seat belts (of the retractor reel type). I decided to use back seat belts… Continue reading Seat belts for the two stroke
Spare engine for the two-stroke, part 2
A little more work on the spare engine. Mostly painting and cleaning. I didn’t notice it until I started to tap the cylinder head bolt threads, but someone had broken a bolt in the block. Apparently he didn’t have the proper tools to remove it and made a hack job of extracting the broken off… Continue reading Spare engine for the two-stroke, part 2
Spare engine for the two-stroke
I’m still planning to drive the two-stroke to the Saab Festival in Trollhättan this summer. But I am just a little concerned about the fact that the rebuilt engine may turn out to be less than reliable. Especially since I have only been able to do very limited testing. And I probably will not have… Continue reading Spare engine for the two-stroke
