Fuel system repair on the two-stroke

Fuel system repair on the two-stroke

Tommi Järvinen 12.5.2013, 22:55 Saab 96 Sedan 19642 Comments

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 …

Saab Club driving season opened once again

Saab Club driving season opened once again

Tommi Järvinen 10.5.2013, 20:52 Saab 96 Sedan 1964 / Saab Club of FinlandOne Comment

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 …

Lockheed brake master cylinder, V4 corrosion repair, two stroke fuel lines

Tommi Järvinen 29.4.2013, 19:44 Miscellanea / Saab 96 Sedan 1964 / Saab Sport 19642 Comments

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 …

Saab Sport seats for the two stroke

Saab Sport seats for the two stroke

Tommi Järvinen 8.4.2013, 12:04 Saab 96 Sedan 1964Leave a comment

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 …

Ditch light for the two-stroke

Ditch light for the two-stroke

Tommi Järvinen 7.4.2013, 19:50 Saab 96 Sedan 1964Leave a comment

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 …

Practical improvements for the two stroke

Tommi Järvinen 6.4.2013, 20:39 Saab 96 Sedan 1964Leave a comment

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 …

Spare engine for the two-stroke, part 3

Tommi Järvinen 17.3.2013, 15:44 Saab 96 Sedan 19647 Comments

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 …

Seat belts for the two stroke

Tommi Järvinen 10.3.2013, 21:09 Saab 96 Sedan 1964Leave a comment

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 …

Spare engine for the two-stroke, part 2

Tommi Järvinen 10.3.2013, 20:37 Saab 96 Sedan 1964Leave a comment

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 …

Spare engine for the two-stroke

Tommi Järvinen 6.3.2013, 23:05 Saab 96 Sedan 1964Leave a comment

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 …
