8/1 date
« on: January 24, 2026, 01:57:31 PM »
Hi all,
I got a second cs , only this time a 8hp.

The number on it is 13138118.

Is it right if i read it as:
1313 engine number
81 (8/1)
18  1968

Or is it something completely different?😅

Hi Rob,

You're exactly right! The year of manufacture is 1950 + the number on your serial plate.
Cheers!
Ade.
