I forgot, and don't remember where I wrote it.

A CP3 pump has a 7.5mm bore x 7.5mm stroke x 3 cylinders. This is 331 mm3 potential. If it is not a "progressive" pump, that's about 1000mm3 per revolution.

Or my math sucks.

shit i dont have mine near by me.... but got a crankshaft gear ;)

crank gear has 42 teeth on it since the cam spins 1/2 the crank speed meen the cam gear would be 84 teeth

hope that help with the math pat :hug:

oops i missed a tooth on the crank gear :damnit:

iirc cylinder volume can be calucalted by
bore x bore x stroke x.7854 = 1 cylinder or 331.34mm
7.5 x 7.5 x 7.5 x .7854= 331.34mm3 per cylinder
331mm3 x 3 cylinders = 993mm3


classification of the CP3 pump is a positive fixed displacement pump.... am i reading that right pat?

I get 316.40625 mm3 of volume per revolution of the CP3 shaft. ((3.14)(R*R)7.5) =316.40625 ??????

You must divide the 7.5mm of bore / 2 to get the radius.. Then square the radius.. then mulitply by 3.142, then by 7.5 for the height of the cylinder.

Then multiply by 3 for the number of cylinders or plungers.


See below examples.

1000mm3 is 1 liter... I doubt that it can displace a "Big Slam" of Mt. Dew every revolution. You can substitute a "liter of cola" also...

Hehe.. Super troopers.. Shenanigans... Liter-o-cola.

Ok I'll shutup now.

i got 331.38 per cylinder with you formula....with all 3 piston you are looking at just shy of a 1000mm or one liter

Yes, I took one apart yesterday out of curiousity.

It's a normal radial piston engine design without a con rod, 2 stroke.

So how is the CP3 geared in relationship to the cam.

BTW I took one all apart, I am thinking about a BBK for it LMAO.


But it's still apart, I will probably loose the pieces before I get it put back together. ;)

CP3 turns at cam speed... 1/2 of crank.... Although the CP3 drive gear is a bit smaller than the cam gear IIRC, so that would be overdriving it somewhat.. but not enough to get back to crank speed.
