ST1

[Startomatic]

Hi all,
i am in the process of acquiring a ST1 with a rather odd serial number prefix....

MY 64 ST1 81 06

can anyone enlighten me the prefix MY?

i am writing from Malaysia and as far as i know, only the 8/1 and 16/2 were CKD here.

meanwhile, can anyone let me know the dimension of the 4 mounting holes at the base?

your input would be much appreciated. thanks!

At a guess - it's an export marker; "MY" does rather suggest "Malay" i.e. Malaysia, doesn't it?

Looks to be a 1981 engine (I think the "81" is actually "31", with some somewhat heavy-handed stamping), I'm not sure what the "06" suffix is - could be the build number (which appeared officially on the plate from 1982).

Thks for the heads-up.

This is a rather unique unit.

It comes with a thick face 4inch width/14inch diameter flywheel. Even the stub output shaft had 6 holes. Both features I had not seen in a ST.

As far as I can tell, the unit is stock standard,

More pixs to come once I get it home.

she is home finally.

my biggest puzzle is the thick flywheel which i had never seen one before on a ST1.

she was almost impossible to stop once fired up as the heavy flywheel keeps her going unless the fuel is cut off till the rotation stop.

and i am a happy man indeed.
