Giorgio,
Based on your conclusion about your mother-in-law’s neighbor, Goran is way beyond dangerous–at least when it comes to chain saws.

130 cc chainsaw. Not for me. I’d have to get an electric starter and a battery just to get it running. My biggest saws are 60 cc and my longest bars are 24 inch and they don’t do me any good because I can’t hoist 24 inch rounds into the bed of my truck anymore.

This one followed me home today (or package delivered)
Found it on a net-auction, a GM-Svedlunds gas/air mixer.
Missing the linkage for the air control “synchronisation” but good to have for future projects, maybe the Fergie?
Until then it ends up in my “woodgas-museum”

This week i was given two small engines in parts, and a lot of parts!
So i thought: lets have a “quiz”, anyone knows what these are?
I know @SteveUnruh may know, and hope he gives others a chance?

Good morning, good day Goran!
Just guessing 3 cyl. Kubota, gas or diesel, just because they are numerous, and about that size, and the complex casting looks modern rather than antique.

It looks like a fine young Swedish gentleman wearing a pair of suspenders. 
I am guessing the object he holding is from a 3 cylinder yanmar diesel soon to be repurposed as 3 barreled projectile launcher.

Argh!
Swedish begins with with the letter “S” in all language forms.
The name Steve begins with the letter “S”.
Santa Claws begins with the letter “S”.
And winter auto snow racing begins with four letter "S"now.
Hints. Hints. I do not want to spoil Goren’s coming up dark of winter days of fun.

If that was supposed to be a not so subtle indication I was incorrect and a hint. It narrows it down to:

One clue: It’s not a diesel

Of course not!! You are FAST though! I can’t believe it has been converted to a 3 hole potato gun already.

To me, it looks like a block from a Subaru or Suzuki engine, but I’m probably wrong,…

Šuštarič begins with S. I am guessing you are trying to throw us off because it is an engine you created.

Saab 2-stroke is my bet.

Ha! Ha!
Expanded ring-ding 2 stroke audio, with a detailed back story.
Mine was a 1969 with the V-4 engine. Great rain foul weather and snow car. Much better IMHO human space on the insides that a VW Beetle.

We got a winner! 
Yes, it’s a Saab two-stroke, 3 cylinder, 35 horsepower engine.
I don’t have a car for it, but will probably make it a runner for the fun of it. (And some filing/porting)
More pic’s coming on the somewhat odd construction.

I’ve discovered a long time ago you can figure out some a persons personalty by thier choice in automobile attributes.
For some it is all about the engine.
Others it is all about the feel of the hard driving experience.
Others it is all about the body styling.
And many it is all about how they perceive others will see them owning/driving it.
Become a family man or woman adds a whole other dimension to your selection. Interior space and ease of access’s. SAFETY. SAFETY.
I am a blend of the first two. With a strong dash of overall economy of operation. And now aged wiser how flexible the overall vehicle can support my lifestyle. Not me warping my lifestyle to accommodate the vehicle.
The Saab/German Ford V-4 had good power for the small tall lightweight chassis’s capabilities. My inline fours MG1100; Volvos PV444/122; VW 1st Generation Rabbit; Suzuki Samurai were much more fun and capable.
But . . .as can be seen in the guys video with his pictured V-4 engine building up you get to work on two separate cylinder heads, exhausts and so forth. No different than a boxer flat engine; a V-6, V-8, V-10. I’ve come to highly value the two heads engines, I never have to tear down for repairs.
All of my inline engines were never so much the work, with problems. The three inline threes were super easy to work on, but truthfully power limited. A lot more can be had and done with an inline four. Saab 99’s and 9000’s. Volvo’s.
My selected current 2003 Camry I-4 I have hauled 10 foot boards and trim materials inside. Four people their luggage or two bicycles inside able to smooth cruise 70mph with a good radio and AC. Or me; and three big dogs in smooth comfort. Great fuel economy. Inexpensive parts. Full accessibly around the engine.
Inline sixes were great longitude installed, in rear wheel drive. Took bigger, heavier vehicles though to match the same interior capabilities.
Anyhow. Whatever floats your boat.

I’ve been thinking for a while whether to post this, well… another engine, this time a gasoline engine.

Giorgio, there are two things that drive me to open such an engine, the first is curiosity to see the condition of the engine, and the second is to lubricate and preserve the moving parts so that it can stand for a long time and wait for restoration. I bought this engine in a place near the Austrian border for 250 Eur, the working volume is approx. 920 cc, the compression ratio is approx. 1:4.5, the piston diameter is 95 mm and the stroke is 130 mm, …
