Re: age of evinrude zephyr motor
Cute. An 11-hp 8-cylinder engine. Line enough of 'em up and you'd really have something there.<br /><br />It's kind of too bad they fire two cylinders at the same time. You don't get the same exhaust sound you would firing them one-at-a-time.<br /><br />I did hear a recording of the little Honda 4-cyl 50cc motorcycle engine. It ran at about 20,000 rpm, and just howled. They only built it for factory racing bikes, though, and I don't think any have made it to the collector's marketplace.<br /><br />I'm fascinated by multi-cylinder small engines, I guess. I'm just going to have to find a Zephyr, just to have one, I suppose. Looks like the eBay ones aren't going to go for all that much.<br /><br />If I can find one for about $100, it's mine.
