Here is the engine and dyno on the new test stand.
This test stand was actually just designed and built
this September, as the "cart and clamps" setup used
previously for engine testing tended to rattle apart
(the Briggs engine is not particularly well-balanced).
Future teams will now also be able to use this test stand.
A closer view of the EFI (electronic fuel injection)
kit mounted on the engine. This kit was actually
recommended by another team at competition last year,
and is called the "Ecotrons Small Engine Fuel Injection Kit."
We hope to have it running soon, and it should cut our
fuel usage significantly over last year's carbureted setup.
