Gosh the old T1 series twin used in my 1972 Cheetah lives on with minor changes fifty years later in small planes. Kawasaki’s got their money out of this one. Bigger fan housing, better ignition system, better seals in the crank, better carb and tighter tolerances than the old first generation sled engines but not much else changes. The best change in fifty years is modern two stroke oils are light years ahead of what we had in 1970. Makes me wish time travel was possible so I could send a case of it back to me as a kid. Lol. So many engine problems could have been avoided.
I can personally attest to the smooth power and quiet operations of the Kawasaki setup...sweet.....nothing like a Rotax... I have Kawasaki mounted on a all aluminum ultralight airplane....3 blade Ultra prop propeller...belt reduction and the blue top Mukuni carb....CDI ignition and it is just a joy to listen to...
Bom dia, tenho um kawazaki 440, oque fazer para ele não se desligar em vôo quando fica por um tempo acelerado, sei que ele tem um sistema de segurança que ele se apaga, pode me ajudar a resolver isso?
@Nimbus Nimbus When I put the (exhaust) pipe down a bunch of chrome flakes came out of it....why do you think Arctic Cat went to Suzuki for the engines instead??
I have the same engine but can only get mine started by spraying some carb cleaner into the carb. After it warms up it starts with no problem. Any clue want I can do to help it start better? Thanks
i HAVE A 440-A2 KAWASAKI like this one 2hrs on it runs like a raped ape. Rotax doesn't have anything over Japans 440 awesome engine.Remember the first 3cylinder bike by KAWASAKI SCREAMMING FAST BIKE ENGINE i ALSO HAVE A ultra 150 jet ski 2000 fastest jet ski then 75 mph with 2 adults on board

I need Electric stater for kawasaki 440.. have you one? Thank you
That Kasperwing is not weight shift for roll and yaw. It uses a 'yoke' that controls wing tip rudders for roll and yaw. Forward and back weight shift for pitch control.
lol I'm a bike tech and I was looking at it trying to figure out how it's not just your standard every day mechanical slide. Not even a CV, and nowhere near a real top of the line like a CR. Never trust a sales pitch, the guy giving it is always trying to make a few bucks off you.

@@InTheFleshInc I think they are getting about $4k all up for just the powerplant, redrive, shipping, exhaust, airscoop. What the Kasperwing--in kit form--cost in 1983 would equate to around $11k now. So, you were pretty darn close! Of course, that was way back when the engine of choice was a Zenoah G25B.
I guess if you could put a KZ900 or 1000 and still be light enough I would like it, and I would have to see more of the wing, it also could be made with lighter materials of fabrics. I saw the 440 engines could not take it (hard usage, high rpm) back in the day they came out. Maybe they were not good back then and they got better with better metals. Show the wing if possible and weld quality, junk is not always visible and sample test bends on sample parts will tell the truth. Did you bother to bend any of the structural assembly to set the load limits or just yahoo and up you go?
Motors are much better today and it looks like fun. I may make a few wings to see if I can get enough lift to justify a motor. I've been thinking about making wings for a few years, now I feel I can make a good one if I can find the time. I will try soon.
One thing I've wondered, with modern steels at around 2GPa tensile strength and high temp alloys, shouldn't it be possible to make an ultra light motor? rather than heavy cast iron.
@@MrOGREATWISEONE Those old kawasaki 440's all sound like that. I got no idea where this guy is getting his motors from, but this is the exact motor that Kawasaki and John Deere used in their snowmobiles back in the 70's and 80's.
Yes it is ! Kawasaki made 440A " a for aircraft ". That kawasaki is way more reliable than a rotax. I have had many years experience with both. Cosmos Echo 503 Currently. Sable trike with a 340 Kawasaki and a 440A on a Phantom and so many others. Depending on application they are exceptional !
The silencer on the muffler dose not make 40 percent more thrust. So who ever told you that is out right lying to you. If anything it decreases the horse power. Period.
Correction, an exhaust system (expansion chamber) on a 2 stroke engine can increase horsepower by 200% plus via pressure pulsation tuning which creates boost, at a tuned RPM. Totally opposite for a 4 stroke engine.
@@dncook1955 it's not an expansion chamber douchebag. It's a fucking muffler that he has on it. Always something to say but don't know what you are talking about. It is a fucking muffler Not an expansion chamber. Big difference.
AHhhh.......... Just two steps away from the VEGAMATIC 440 and poof goes you leg/thigh/arm/ head etc. , ..... I think I'd demo with my seatbelt on and in the SEAT !.

Tried starting mine today. Still a little hard to start but got it going after about 10 tries with carb cleaner sprayed into carb.
Clean and inspect the carb, replace seals, check compression.
Roy, did you ever figure out how to start it easier?
@@steelpix no, but sending it off to have electric starter installed.

Did this come out of a snowmobile?
Check the clinder composition out aluminum chrome plate rotax steel

It is a heavily modified Kasperwing
Starts first time every time huh!!!???? Somebody should have shared that with the engine!

Are you talking about a Geo engine conversion?
Are you still in business!
Forty per cent more thrust from a muffler. A hundred degree drop in cylinder temp due to some crude baffling. I believe that. Sure I do.
The "Blue Cap" on the carb provides 40% increase in miles per gallon and 30% greater rate of climb! I do like the simplicity of a single carburetor.

Kopie Trabant.
Kawasaki are cheep used one they don't compare to rotax
The cylinders will blow out after 200 hrs you can respect a rotax to go 500 hrs
what is the anoying sound "catlic catlic " when you talk.
Is that the noise like a ratchet strap being tightened
U talk too much.
I clicked on vid to see it fly. Instead he tries to sell it. BTW kawasaki are crap! Doesn't matter what the colour of the carb top is.
