Just put rings, piston, rod and that sort of stuff in it last week Eugen.

Not bored out. This engine broke the rod about to or three years ago. So, was just gunna fix it up some day by putting the rings, piston, rod and gaskets to have on hand for when an engine went kablewie. Never got around to it. So. The engine in the tractor went kablewie and I didn’t have this engine done. So that’s why it’s getting fixed up now. Need it for the tractor. The one that blew up in the tractor will be fixed up for a spare. Have enough stuff to put it back together. The engine in the tractor that blew up , broke the rod

Does this ramblin help in any way.

Oh now I get it

So back to where I was last week. Spark timing fixed, thanks Dave, magnets fixed, hopefully and governor parts fixed.
Hopefully it runs and charges.


Noel

There's no reason not to. Is it still standard bore?

Yes, standard bore Eugen. Now to get the engine to my sons place, were the tractor is and start at that someday. Tractor needs some engine mounts work before engine goes in. So we will take the snow blower off and put the tractor on the hoist to make it easier to work on. This is the tractor Eugen. These pictures are from a year or two ago.
