Title: Three pot engines ?
Post by: Sparky on May 26, 2015, 12:13:40 AM

Changing the oil on the steamer yesterday and I got thinking about three cylinder engines and how unusual they are. I know of some in the small econo class cars especially in Europe, Triumphs of course and some Yamaha and SeaDoo watercraft engines. Anyone have other three cylinder engines other than a motorcycle ?

Here's my other three pot, 1.5L three cylinder Rotax, SOHC, closed loop cooling (uses coolant and a heat exchanger plate to keep salt water out of the engine) gear driven supercharger rated at 185 HP.
