This engine is completely original. The guy in town that I got it from was in the process of parting it out on eBay. I got him to pull down all his auctions early - not one single part was sold thank god. Everything is accounted for - every bolt & nut. I'll have to replace the exhaust tower gasket and the carburator gasket. Everything else is there & perfect. The engine is pristine - just taken apart. This thing has just a season or two of use. It was stored awa for over 40 years. It was a running motor when the guy took it apart. Can you imagine? I'm putting it back together just as it is. I waxed the hood & put it in my living room. And yes, I paid dearly for it.

Awesome that you caught him before any of it got away. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.
