Re: 170 rebuild first start - wet!

Never ever been a fan of RTV anywhere...past posts etc.

Just remember that what you wipe off on the outside is in probably more the inside.

Can be problematic...

Re: Anzani pilot

Welcome aboard.

You seem to be doing just fine...gently gently the way to go.

Clean the gearbox and refresh grease by hand etc. Not packed to the max just leave some air.

I am interested in the recoil starter?

I suspect an add-on at some stage.

Cool little engines...have fun aye.

Re: Boxed SD

I remember that one Hugo...seemed to be some derision and the listing vanished?

May be wrong as it was some time ago now...we shall see if available again.

The main hurdle is a seller shipping it...not the final price.

Interesting all the same aye?

The rest of the motor is just clean and assemble really.

Re: SD12802J

THAT is very odd aye. Is there a "Factory Repair" number anywhere, and I mean anywhere, small font, something like this? 9897.jpg Other thort to mind is that the crankcase could have been destined, lets us say, an early AD (1947 0n)...wrong parts trolley. The engine number makes no sense....
