[Spridgets] NFI - 1967 Saab Sonnet ii - $2750

[uniquelittlecars at yahoo.com]

If you go to the snow mobile 2 stroke racing oil not even as much as in your
picture.
I ran the stuff in my 3 cylinder 2 stroke DKW 3=6
You can cut back the ratio of oil to gas - It will only give a puff at start
up.
What most people do not realize is the new synthetic oils you can run leaner.
Why? Because these cars was designed to put regular oil in the gas.
Most 2 strokes had a mixing basket - you pour the oil in then gas up.
later they went to an oil injection system.

Close.. the "Shrike" was an advertising name for the SAAB 96 2 stroke in '68.
Yes, it had an 820cc (Down from 850cc) engine with a big yellow dot on it to
verify that it was the small displacement engine.  The Sonett (Model 97 ) in
'67 was the 850 cc engine with some extra horses coaxed out of it with a
triple carb, full web crank, dual fuel pumps, and I believe different
porting.
They don't weigh very much and are a real giggle to drive.  And when properly
set up with the right oil ratio/right oil they only smoke a little.. here's
mine on the dyno:
