  • Serial number cast on the front of the water cooling chamber - 232740



    cleaned over 5 gallons of dirt out of the crankcase area...



    obviously something went here... I am thinking a magneto of some sort...



    a view of what I believe to be the carburetor, and the "igniter"..



    a close up of the igniter(?)....



    view of the front of the cylinder head, top of the carburetor...



    area of the head which has been welded at some point. Exhaust port at bottom of head....



    belt pulley on the side...



    The oiler tube is rusted out, the cooling chamber was also full of dirt. It will take a while to get it all cleaned out.



    view from the other side, where the magneto is removed. Piston is thorougly frozen, once I get the rod and main bearing caps loosened up, I will tilt the engine and begin working on unfreezing the piston... more to come later....
