The all important ignition system utilizes two auto type spark plugs per cylinder independently fired by both a single self-energized magneto and hall-effect 12 volt electronic ignition system, virtually eliminating total ignition failure when used in tandem. Timing is fixed at 25 degrees BTDC.
Electric 12volt started motor (rear mounted) including built-in solenoid for reliable engagement and cranking, 35amp alternator (small and also rear mounted) with built in voltage regulator. Single Bing 40mm constant depression carburetor offering excellent automatic altitude compensating mixture control for an incredibly smooth delivery of power. Fuel supplied by engine driven mechanical fuel pump: an electric fuel pump is installed for back up. Dry Sump lubrication via geared oil pressure and primary and secondary scavenge pumps. Auto style spin on oil filter are incorporated in the design. Conventional valve train (two for cylinder) incorporating classic dual row cam rings and roller tappets for smooth valve movement via push rod and 1:1 rocket transmission (all oil pressure lubricated). All camps and bearing surfaces are nitride hardened and precision ground to exact tolerance. Minimum octane 97 RON or 100LL aviation or high octane mogas are recommended. Compression ratio of 8,5:1 is standard. Fuel consumption: Avgas 100LL or right octane mogas: 22 ltrs/hour (5.8 US gal/hr)@ 80% Power.
