Rotax Raptor Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Look at the top of the head and see if it says rotax. I know rotax had a purple head like that on their motors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n2otoofast4u Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Yep its a cranker. Rotax (in the case 583cc) snowmobile cylds that are grafted with a PILE of work to a banshee case. These were rotary valve motors. At anyrate they were built years ago in an attempt to make bigger motors. They are still cool simply because of what they are but most small cub motors will outrun them with little problems. The 670s are around also and arent much better. Is it for sale?

Starwriter Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Rotary valve 2 strokes are so cool. The Suzuki RP68 road racer. 3 cylinder 50cc rotary valve 2 stroke 19 hp @ 20,000 rpm 14 speed gear box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKheathen Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 wow, those are interesting. actually, the rotax motor is a 90 degree crank with one single big rotary valve, about 8-10" section, iirc, that drops all the way down about as low as the crank bearings. had huge plans to mod my 583 to a forced induction setup, before i got a banshee. the only way i can see the valve fitting on a banshee case is either reversed cyl, or with the cyls laying flat and the valve up. anyone got any links to some old leakenstien setups?
