The domestic industry for many years produced mopeds and motorbikes with engines of the type “D”. However, all of these machines were a significant disadvantage (which was, however, pay for their low price). The fact that these motors had a single transfer, which significantly reduces their opportunities. So, for them it was almost impossible to budge without preliminary acceleration by foot pedal; connect to motor “human power” I had when driving uphill or on a dirt road, and when driving on the highway the scooter would not prevent accelerating transmission, allows to increase its speed at least 50 km/h.

Man I’m not so wealthy to afford to have multiple vehicles for different purposes (even homemade). So the car that was going to build, was conceived as a versatile vehicle not only for transportation of passengers or goods, but also as assistant in different economic Affairs.

SNOWMOBILE “BOROVIK”
Designers snowmobiles operating in rural areas, and most — often used parts of decommissioned tractor Puscuta PD-10 propeller systems for their cars. It is clear and logical: the engine PD-10 is widely distributed in agriculture, it is necessary to recast it we option is not the challenge. Accumulating the experience of operating planes with such engines, the designers achieve a very noticeable increase their performance by improving purging, selection of carburetors, etc. it is safe to say that at present, a single “rural” snowmobile engine, created on the basis of the PD-10 are the most proven and reliable machine. It should be added that in the construction of chassis, control systems, etc. in recent years also created a lot. According to the editorial, timely information about these updates can assist the novice builders.
