It was made in the early 40's and was run briefly at the factory in Paris. The factory rating was: 13.5 cc and @5000 rpm generated 1 hp. Possibly, five or six engines were assembled. Paul,

We were using smog pumps on Briggs powered gokarts when I was a kid. They're like a little Judson. Jim you have any photos posted? We were using smog pumps on Briggs powered gokarts when I was a kid.

What type supercharger! For those of us of more modest means pick up a Honda 50 or one of the Chinese clones, find a good Ford smog pump (in reality a mini vane supercharger) with the inlet and outlet spigots as opposed to the inlet fan type, attach, fit 26 mm Kehin carb correctly jetted and go like stink. I've got less than $50 in mine. jim Way cool! What type supercharger!

That HAS to tickle something somewhere. Sure, you could do it like that, but then again, a blower on a bicycle? That HAS to tickle something somewhere.
