Jack & Heintz Twin
The
Marman Co. sold out to the Jack & Heintz Co. and they made the Jack &
Heintz Twin Bicycle Motor. The Co. was called the Jack & Heintz Precision
Industries, Inc in Ohio. They improve on engine by incorporating two
compression releases in the heads the valves where activated by a two cam lever
and pulled by a cable up to the left hand twist grip. The next improvement
was two twist grips as opposed to Marman using a thumb lever. Left for
compression release and right hand for throttle. Next was the carb which was
changed from Tiltiston to Carter. Coil was also changed from a bakelite covered
shell two an open varnished coil winding style which gave huge problems. Neither
of these two kits came with lighting. Dave

From Dave Bagne's
Collection Another
one from Dave Bagne Jack
& Heintz Twin 31/4 hp 2 cycle on a Rare S-10 Schwinn Bike.
Made for engine kits. Engine on this bike is like N.O.S so was a real pleasure
to restore & a nice performer. Of all the frames that Schwinn has made
I consider this 24" bike to be one of their best in handling & comfort
of ride. Gene Bollmeier of IL is now the proud owner & will complete
his collection of the Marman & Jack & Heintz. Dave Bagne
