Making third intake on 66cc.......................

[Ludwig II]

And as I delve, the plot thickens. From before the Husqvarna, we have the Sachs in this Bismarck:

And as fitted to the 1935 French New Map:

So did Husqvarna use the Sachs, or build it under licence? If the German engine plant ended up in East Germany, then the China Girls etc are possibly badly made descendants.

Awesome pictures!~ Thanks very much!~ I bet all that you've shown lasted quite abit longer!!!!!~

I had a trawl through and it seems that the Sachs was used by so many people, not just in Germany but everywhere with builders/assemblers of motorcycles, that it would have been the logical choice to copy a known and reliable unit.

There was also a JLO that looked like it as well, but it's harder to find good info as the Sachs swamps everry enquiry.

I finally tracked down a cutaway view. Is this anything like the guts of a Chinese engine?

Uno, I bet these China toys won't hold a candle to lasting as long as all of these bikes you've found.
