Konig History

[stingray240cs]

The 3 cylinder powerheads sitting on the bench next to it look like the same powerhead used on the stock Volvo-Penta 700 (70 h.p.) that came to the U.S. in 1975. I worked for Volvo-Penta as an Outboard Service rep. then and was told that the powerhead was a Konig design. .

Dale, did you mean this 70 HP engine? The powerhead of the VP700, Archimedes 70 came from König and had 904,5 ccm.
For more info just shout.
BTW, Frank (dumperjack) is one of the best informed guys reg. the german outboard history...
