  1. I have a couple of them, and Barkas as well. Yes to to US only the 311 was exported.When the berlin wall built, the business went wrong and stopped.Interesting fact that the same designer drawned the 311 and the 353 also.His name was Hans Fleischer ang got design merit award for both cars.The 311 compared with a 353 is a hand built very complicated and needs a lot of man hour to build, it has beautiful shapes and details, wood armrest, beautiful instruments and so on.The 353 is simple as a brick, easy to manufacture, easy to put it together and easy to operate.No fancy details, just a good workhorse like a Model T at its age.Lots of people hate 2stroke because of the smell and the blue smoke, but if the exhaust system is clear, and good 2T oil is used its not so bad.I use mine more than 15years. Its a 1975 Tourist, which mean estate in Us.

  2. I also want to make one to my 1929 Chrysler model 65. I attach it to the steering coloumn because I found an old russian tacho which is almost the same diameter like the steering coloumn. With point and gap ignition it does not work properly, but I added a petronix electic ignition. Not tested yet.

  3. Sun tester unfortunatelly not available here in hungary.I take the distributor apart, clean it, bushing and everything is fine.Weights are moving freely, springs are ok.As I mentioned an electric pertronix ignition installed.There is a mark in the crankshaft pulley and the engine front.This could be the ignition point at idle? When I increase rev I see the weight advance is working well.

  4. I offer you If you have a mobile phone or other device which has a heat camera check how the engine is getting hot. Maybe you will see a causeless hotspot. And the check of the water pump flow by big water tank is a good idea.

    If you fail to solve the problem,still have the fastest and much expensive tea-water boiling machine of the world:)) Sorry, bad joke my fingers crossed to have the solution!

  5. I have a 1929 Chrylser model 65 and have the same problem. By ear I feel 30-32mph is the good for the car and the engine. Originally it has 4 differential ratios, mine is the shortest (44-9)unfortunatelly. Factory made 44-9 46-10 43-10 and a 43-11.The longest is 16% longer but I could not find yet. 1st gear is very short, you can start with 2nd if the car is not full with people.

     In winter I think I made a longer version, or build in a Volvo overdrive not sure which is better.
