Post by: GMC on January 20, 2013, 01:03:44 pm: Err, someone run that configuration by me again.
4 conrods
3 pistons
2 heads
2 carby’s
2 exhausts
1 spark plug

From that I have to assume one cylinder runs as an air pump feeding the other 2 cylinders that run together and share a combustion chamber??

Any one know what capacity it is?
Assuming the capacity is calculated by the 2 firing cyinders.

I think that's it Geoff, the centre cylinder acts as the supercharger, pumping the air/fuel mixture into the two outer cylinders.
The Deek features a third forward facing cylinder which acts as a "kompressor" to force the fuel mixture into the two vertical cylinders. The smaller front cylinder operates the transfer ports and the rear cylinder fires the mixture. .
