|
|
Hi, I was cleaning up in the garage today and found this engine. I’m ready with my restoration project so I don’t need it. It was really dirty but I used some diesel to clean it and took some photos. Does anyone know whether it will be possible to use this engine for some kind of rebuilt, spare parts or something? I will not start on this project but maybe someone else can use it.
Probably I have tried to dismantle the engine but given up so I didn’t brake anything (actually I can’t remember, it has to be at least 25 years ago…).
Checking the engine ID on thesamba it seems for me this is an engine from 1953.
Any ideas?
Thx!

IS diesel a good solvent to use for cleaning? it looked like it and I love the smell. I also have one of those engines that I haqve not been able to even touch yet, I will keep a photo book and post how the restoration/ finding a good home for it goes, i bought it and another, single port engine to put in a little buggy for $100. |
