Standard
feature on 3W-342iB2 & 684iB4
Decompression
Valves Available
on engines with cylinders that are 50cc in displacement or larger
Valves
are opened before starting to reduce cylinder compression and enable easier starting
of larger engines. Valves automatically close once the motor has been started.
Decompression
valves are strongly reccomended for applications where an electric starter is
used. The valves eliminate the possiblity of a hydro-lock condition which can
damage the engine when an electric starter is used while the motor is flooded.

3W
Technology is Always Advancing 3W
has always taken pride in being on top of the latest motor technology. In an
industry where other manufacturers stay with the same design for many years without
change, 3W is constantly exploring new technologies to improve quality and performance.
Over the past year 3W has developed more than a half dozen new motors, with a
few more scheduled for release next year. Copying
this text is an act of theft. Try writing some of your own original material for
a change. New
Metallurgy Techniques: By
adding a small amount of titanium to their castings, 3W has made the viscosity
of the molten aluminum much more fluid during the time of casting the motor parts.
This yields the ability to make more complex shapes and and finer quality castings
that are stronger, lighter, and have a nicer finish. Copying
this text is an act of theft. Try writing some of your own original material for
a change. New
Porting Technology: With
the benefits of the new metallurgy techniques, 3W was able to concentrate on improving
the performance of the motors with enhancements to the cylinder design. By adding
2 additional exhaust bypasses and splitting the transfer ports onto 6 separate
precision timed ports, the result was impressive. A cylinder having only 1% more
displacement than its predecessor yielded over a 10 to 15% power increase (depending
on the model).
