2 36mm delotos would go well on it

@wideopenthrottle666 The six-stroke engine is a type of internal combustion engine based on the four-stroke engine, but with additional complexity intended to make it more efficient and reduce emissions. Two different types of six-stroke engine have been developed since the 1990s: <---- straight outta wikipedia... a 2 second google search it will pop right up :D

@Lynium wtf is a 6 stroke ?

[brkillpack1]

is that a 2 cylinder

[Lynium]

@dustinwaller87 yes.. the sound pulls the air into the cylinder bettter, helping force the exhaust gases out...

WTF?? ARE YOU HIGH?

Any backpressure only hampers the effeciency of the engine. backpressure means the exhaust is struggling to get out, cant flow out freely, so therefore, the clean A/F mixture struggles to get in. the less A/F gets in, the less power. ESPECIALY on a 2 stroke, where fresh air displaces exhaust as part of the process, not like a 4 stroke or 6 stroke...

@dustinwaller87 thats a myth - go to school

@Gibsoner45

its an articat engine that was made by kawasaki that came in 3/4s of thier machines in the 70s. If I cared enough I could tell you what it is.. mine has the other style exhaust manifold, that curves away to one side..

Its fan cooled, (T1A or T1B?? i think are some of em.. I dunno.. been so long I've forgotten.. mines sitting collecting dust under some oil totes at work..
