The Savauro engine was builtd in Israel initially for use in generators. It
was rated at 17hp @ 3000RPM. It was also available as an engine for
recreational vehicles with 30hp @ 5500RPM. Displacement is 440cc. The design
consists of a CI [cast iron?] rotor, AL housing with steel liner, 

SH [side housing?] AL with no visible
surface treatment. Aircooled with a blower, fixed CDI ignition timing at
20deg. It has single side intake side port and dingle plug. Weight is app.
60lb with recoil start. I will keep you updated as soon as I get it running.
