B stock Konig

[Bob Rusnak]

There is a right up in the Old Boat Sport Mag. 1957 that tells of the B Stock Konig. There is a picture of Deter Konig in a Hydro using this motor. If I get a chance I will scan it and put it on HR. True APBA only allowed American made engines so they were never really sold or raced in the US. ..Bob N-96

stockers ?

That motor is some what unique, especially in that condidtion, as most were cobbled up into alkys. It is the two cylinder [B?] version of the one cylinder M and three cylinder 'C' motors. They were of a modular construction [like Quincy Zs] so u could build them up as a single, twin, or triple.
Below is an add for this motor from the mid '50s implying it was a legal NOA motor. I have never seem these first edition twins in Canada, but the later stock B&C, 20"&26", model HD&CM, single carb deflector twins were common and raced in the CBF.
They were not competitive with a good 'popper' , but would run with a OEM M20H. Steve Roskowski has an very nice HD in his collection. In the early '60s there was a full 30", flat top, stock C twin that would run with any thing other than a Crescent .
Below are pics of a late '50s HD 'B' twin, and an early three cylinder alky 'C' version of this motor.

Here is the first year A-class Alky Konig: 1957 HRA

I have this one (currently being sold) here and it's missing the carbs and pipes... Otherwise original 1957 Konig A class alky motor.

Konig Twin Carb Umit

It's good to see that my Konig is not an orphan. I have a similar version acquired in LA, Cal and it looked like an old racer tried to mate a newer cylinder and looper type pistons on the older twin carb deflector crankcase. Steve Litzell rebuilt the crankcase and I have been struggling finding other parts. I have the carbs and magneto but still lacking the flywheel. Any help tracking down parts would be appreciated.

Indeed, an odd auction, it was over $3K with six hrs to go.
Two bidders with 26 buys between them going at it.

The seller just emailed me. According to what he says, one of the bidder's accounts was determined to be hijacked so the auction was stopped.
