AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Key Specifications
• Engine Type: 616/36 (air-cooled, rear-mounted flat-four boxer)
• Displacement: 1,582 cc (96.5 cu in)
• Bore x Stroke: 82.5 mm × 74 mm
• Compression Ratio: 9.3:1
• Power Output:
• 90 PS (66 kW; 89 hp) DIN at 5,800 rpm (official European rating)
• Approximately 102 hp SAE gross (common U.S. period rating)
• Torque: 122 N⋅m (90 lb⋅ft) at 3,500 rpm
• Valvetrain: Pushrod-operated overhead valves (OHV), 2 valves per cylinder
• Induction: Twin Solex 40 PII-4 downdraft carburetors (split-shaft design original to the 912)
• Ignition: Coil and distributor (typically Bosch)
• Cooling: Air-cooled with top-mounted fan
• Dry Weight: Approximately 130 kg (287 lbs)
The twin Solex 40 PII-4 carbs are period-correct and highly regarded for their drivability when properly tuned. They feature:
• 40 mm venturi throats
• Split-shaft throttle linkage (common on 912s; some were later converted to single-shaft)
• Downdraft design for balanced fuel delivery
This engine represents an early, desirable 912 powerplant—highly sought after for restorations due to its matching-numbers potential and simplicity.
