Default Re: 6 cylinders

The model K engine was flexible. It was mounted solid to the frame, so if one wheel was on a little hump the twist of the frame would lock up the engine. Always have to find a flat spot to park on or you can't crank them. Also lots of trouble with broken crankshaft. I'd love to have one, I've ridden in one. BUT, lets just say it wasn't exactly a marvel of engineering.
