This is a test bed for a single cylinder gasoline engine with computer control.

The engine is connected to a dynamometer on the test bed by a coupling with a safety guard. A fuel tank with a fuel flow and an air flow measuring instruments are on a stand next to the engine.

Data display, analysis, and control are by computer (separately supplied).

The dynamometer requires outside water supply for cooling.

Instruction manual is also included.
