So you got that 7000 FVP with the broken tank mount.
One reason I picked this up last week.

I already have a long range tank, thanks for that.
I have a battered end round tank if you get stuck Tam.
Or go for the other one in bits on Ebay.

Hi Tam,
You certainly do like the FVPs! So you have acquired another one? Is the serial number 7000?
Cheers,
Jeremy

Keith,
That looks a very nice FV/FVP head. The tank looks good as well. Very useful bits.

Tam,
I will enter FVP7089 on the data list and will fill in the details when I know them. Sometimes these e bay engines can be very original as they might not have been played around with too much.

Cheers,

Jeremy

Only half a motor, as its used in the water, but Tam's are basically right.

I can also put up a picture of one not right.

They could have done a better job of making them fuel cap gaskets, they do look awful.

Yeah
Very cute.
I still want one, been looking for a while now. Been pipped at the last minute with a few this year already :roll: .
One will turn up eventually i'm sure, but most of my time is taken up with their bigger brothers the 102's.

Handy parts to have, still a lot of machining involved.
Little forty parts and a later weedless prop?
