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 …
Painting a few bits and pieces:
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”.
I was going through a few storage boxes at home and found a bunch of Saab promo postcards and photos. If anyones interested the price is 3 € per card + postage. The cards are a little larger than the standard postcard size. Send me an email if interested: saabisti.jarvinen@gmail.com …

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:
Some photos from yesterday:
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 …
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.
