We visited Jon Enyeart of Pony Carburetors in Las Cruces, New Mexico, to discuss engine tuning and carburetors and how both directly affect performance. We also consulted with Marvin McAfee at MCE ...

ENGINE-TEST results are presented for simulated altitude conditions using a displacerpiston combustion-chamber on a 5-in. by 7-in. single-cylinder compression-ignition engine operating at 2000 r.p.m.
