got some engine parts
« on: January 03, 2014, 05:43:44 AM »
Kens on his way home with a few crates of engines in pieces.   Far as I can tell he got  alum blocks and cylinders and some iron ones...and most of the rest of the stuff. Maybe we can salvage an engine out of it all. I'll post pics in a bit

If you get any single spark plug aluminum cylinders, let me know.

How much snow did you get?

We got about 10-12 inches so far, and it is still falling.

Sounds like you guys found a nice stash of parts .

We're here in balmy Long Beach . It's clear with a temperature of 37.5 °F . NO snow , thankfully . It's suppose to get all the way up to 45°F this afternoon .

I guess they weren't lying when they said it would be the coldest Winter in a long time . :(

Kens says theres two rods only and the pistons arent stuck and theres several spare pistons.   Maybe it'll make something

You don't see that many flywheels together any more, Nice find. If you find you don't need all those kick starters, let me know, I could use two of them.

I hope y'all bought all the motor parts you could find. If not quick go back and get the rest of them we could always use extra motor parts. 8)

Yes....its all he had....he wasn't interested in vintage engine parts..I think the frames he has take the Hondas etc...he has 6 of those reproduction frames and forks.... Bought out someone.

. Are the kick starters all the same? There was one with the orig sportsman ken bought and a few in this pile I think...no matter what's done I think 2 is more then he'd use.
  Few things we are looking for still.....front fender and curved braces and hafta buy or copy a rear rack. Need one good tank too.
