I think Swedetech engines have too much compression!!

This is the first time I have seen this happen. I would suspect a water leak caused the engine to hydraulic lock.

Jansen out there breaking in a new motor?

Did it bend the rod? Would’ve had to happen on start up for the cylinder to have enough water in it to do that. Seems like it would take and awful lot of force to break were it did. Maybe some JB (pun) Weld and a big clamp will “get er done”.

Jansen must have had someone trying to pull start him! :loony:

It happened going up the hill under full power. You have to log in to see the pics.

Looks like one of many of Doug’s moto implosions back in the day. How long was this power plant sitting around before you ran it?

I’m tellin’ ya, you gotta keep the fetzer valve clean. It’s all about ball bearings nowadays…

It appears to me the stochiometric ratio of 14:1 was not observed. By the way that’s an air fuel mixture not air water…

:look

Curt,

Found a Moto engine that would gladly trade you!

[Rodney Ebersole]

Looks like Swedetech might need to reduce the mister orifice and run a girdle on their stock moto packages. Got an extra box of welding rod if you need it.
