As some of you may recall, a couple of years ago, I was able to rescue an SR2 (1968) Gen Set from a small island near my location.
As life progresses, I can see that time and energy for this restoration project is in short supply. Perhaps there is someone who would like to have this engine, and put it back into running condition. It may just need some further clean-up and reassembly in order to make it run.
I would like to see this go to a good home.
A few caveats:
I do not know if it was in running condition at the time I found it in a covered shed, but it had good compression,
and was covered with years of grime and oil, so not rusted, and was reputed to be running 3 years previously.
The engine is complete, including electric starter and hand crank.
In order to move it through the forest and onto a small riveted aluminium skiff, I had to partially disassemble it. It's a heavy little bugger, thought it might go right through the bottom of the boat! Thread

The engine and skid frame is available at no cost for someone willing to pick it up at my location. If you are on Vancouver Island, it is a 2 ferry trip. Might even be worth your while if you are on the B.C. mainland.
PM me if interested,
Cheers,
