Guys, I'm not an appearance/restoration type. I have two CSs & just bought this one cos it looked entire-ish. It'll probably turn out to just be a 3hp one anyway. But for $100? What the hell
If I'm lucky it may have compression. We'll see
I just bought it because at that price and only a hundred miles away it would have been irresponsible not to . . .
It can sit "under the Macrocapas" with a big bucket over its head/injector etc for as long as may be required. There's another one there that hasn't run for a couple of years sitting there anyway, so it won't get lonely
I have another 6/1 bolted/concreted down to a base up at my Bay of Plenty property that I have never run. I paid $300 for it about three years ago. I bought a new pump & injector last year from Rob at OldTimerEngines and am off up there for four days early tomorrow - so my project for the weekend is to see if it will run . . .
Cheers
