The poor guy was trying to keep up with me (poor fool)

. As a result the engine did see a few

lean runs!
Here is a peak at what I hope to post about Fox's 10 cc crankshafts I show a 40Q just for reference, a Hawk, and Eagle I, Eagle II/III and an Eagle IV. You will note that they all have,what one OEM is now trying to say is new in their ads, and that is a balanced "D"-cut crankshaft supported by dual bearings, or derivation there of. (I have to thank BW for bring this term, "D"-cut crankshaft to my notice) The Eagle I and Hawk cranks are from the 70's, far from new in my book! This was the first time I have had an Eagle IV apart. And WOW was I pleasantly surprised! Notice that the Eagle IV and 40Q crankshafts has an ear of the "D" cut off opposite the cut out for the inlet port. More about the Eagle IV and the cranks later!
All the best,
Konrad
