Mystery Jap Engine From Finland


Recommended Posts

We trying to find information from this (home?) made JAP engine from Finland.

The cylinder and head are JAP parts, but the crankcase is totaly different. just look at the stiffningribs.

Home made sounds about right. crankcase is indeed Finnish design from the fifties, only two made ever. This particular bike was used as a spare bike in the Helsinki based team Pääskyset (a bird that was used to carry notes, cant remember the word). The owner himself has tried to search for some info of the bike but havent found anything.

 

What I wrote is based on the knowledge of Paavo Mikkola, a fifties rider from the Pääskyset team.

 

PM me for an email adress for the owner...
