Interestingly in Blairs book he claims to have seen chambers prior to MZ using them.
I think it was Montesa he cited.

Hey AusMechem. You say he got it a bit wrong in the video but don't tell us how. I would be genuinely interested in knowing where he got it wrong. I'm not having a go at you, just looking for more detailed info. Cheers Where do I start. For one thing, Intake lengths are not designed to be tuned to ...

Gordon Bennet ! Gordon Jennings. I wonder what this thing does book. Read it several times. So much measuring, guessing and then theorising. And then gives you a tune length forumla with the guts of it hidden away to produce an imperial value in inches. Magically jumps from ft/sec sonic velocity to ...

All it does is improve low speed carburation, for a city ride it could help with economy, slightly.. Nothing to do with Helmoltz resonance or compression and expansion waves. The RD LC350 had a balance tune, same deal. In the 80's I welded new intakes on an LC 350, stuffed YZ, manifolds, 6 petal ree...

2 cycles to fire up thats all, magneto CD ignition more but battery powered induction ignition that provides full energy from 1 RPM upwards such as I had on my racing RD350LC moded ignition, 3rd compression hump is go on a racing push start. from engine off, not primed. Discovered this was a benefit...

I watched that recently myself. Yes very well explained for the layman. It is, albiet hit and miss. Matt is an engineer not a mechanic. Like most they use basic physics and engineering principles to reverse engineer how engines work, however any seasoned mechanic knows that often fails because not ...
