Looked a complete motor and listed as spares or repair.
I always like a project, :shock: It is complete, completely knackered.
Pistons are stuck, so I removed the head, all bolts seemed loose, so pull off head to find pistons had been attacked with a club hammer.
Gave it a little soak and yes only one piston is moving out of the two, also flywheel come loose, so that came off to show that the crank had also been attacked.

Not a good day :cry:

A few years back I got stung with my first outboard, it was an Anzani, it would run for about 30 seconds and then stop.
After close inspection it was found the cylinder wall had rusted thru to the water jacket. Cost me a bit to get it re-sleaved
but it runs well now.
You have to be on toes all the time.

Close, but no cigar, Anzani did end up with their name on it.
6hp, would just need pistons and con-rod's to fix :cry:
