Saving Old Seagulls

Anyone Know what this Ole Girl is or was, saved it from a trip to the dump.

John

That is a an interesting one.
Cant say I have seen anything like it.
Bruce (Perth) will know , he probably has a couple.

Looks like it's air-cooled, judging by the fins on the block - and I'm guessing the Victa starter is a 'modification'....

Anzani???? Villiers???? Or an early Jap motor???

C'mon, Bruce, wake up!!

[BTW, Bruce, if you read this, your 'usual' email address is bouncing with a 'does not exist' message.....is it because your site is down??]

Don't know the Victor, other then a heavy cast block and a plastic carb.
Definitely a mower type engine, looks like a some kind of catalogue motor.




Like this outboard, must have gone down the pub to design this one.

You'd better ask C.I.

Just about every city in Austrailia had an "outboard" manufacturer, using aircooled industrial & lawnmower engines.

I see nothing English aboout that, who made the carb & what threads are used.

Thanks for the response.

Keith P, Thats it at 55 seconds and what a neat collection.

Charles uk, I don't think the carb is original as it has a cable opperated choke,
probably came off a Japanese scooter. I agree its not English the quality of the
leg doesn't match the tinware on the motor. Will check the threads tomorrow.

Scooter carby ?


Theres one amongst this collection


John

More than one of them in the clip, if you keep looking.
Nice collection, not that I can recognise any, or is that a seagull hiding up at the end?

Thanks Collector Inspector mystery solved.

I did come across a lawn mower that had the same or a very similar motor
it was called the Myer Pathfinder.

Next will it run!

Thanks John
