 Scott,That's a great story as to what these blowers were used for and considering the fact we're talking about our military,I completely believe it! :)
I know everything I've read says 2 strokes and blowers don't work but I'm looking at it this way,I can pressure test a Mac to 6 psi and it will hold with no issues so I'm looking to see what the motor will react like if I can keep the crankcase charged with that pressure.
The blower will be axle driven with it's maximum rpm's at 2500. These roots type blowers do allow air to pass thru them when they're not turning so the motor will be able to idle.
I also plan on completely enclosing the carb and pressurizing it.
Like I said it's a winter experiment and I'm looking forward to seeing what "issues" will pop up !
