I was asking you to see if you have any clue what model it is. I already know what it is.
The picture posted looks like an R175 with electric start. That is no R165 engine. I have one. And, the picture you posted is not even close is resembling any R165.
I am told these are R165 engines, by the vendor. I have no reason to disbelieve this. I have noticed several different designs of these smaller engines, especially regarding the features seen on the gear case cover. I suppose, at some point in the near future, all will be known.
Here is what I posted earlier but took it off and wanted to see what you would write.
I see pictures of Z170F air cooled engines in boxes. Then you say a couple are R165 electric start. Why cant you show the writing on the boxes that have the R165 engines. And the pictures are from a friend? From where? Over seas? You have proven nothing. How about a video clip showing the box being opened and pulling the engine out here in the US at your ranch or what ever it is.
Funny. I don't recall ever having said, "Hey, hwew, does this prove anything to you?"
I posted pictures I thought were very interesting, from a couple of new friends overseas.
These things don't travel an ocean overnight, or so I hear.
I still think you are blowing hot air. Personally, I dont trust anything you post. You have a 109 views and only one reply. This should tell us something. Why aren't more senior members replying to your post? We have to ask ourselves, is it a risk that we should take? The reason why most members are not responding to your post is they called your bluff and see who you truly are.
I don't personally give a rat's rear what you think, trust, or post. You asked a question, and I answered it to the best of my ability.
If anything is to be "proven", well, that will come in the future, if I bother at all.
Some other things. The picture of the engine looks like it was taken in a photo booth. (Photo Shopped) And here is the real kicker. The picture posted looks like an R175.
Hooray. You sure caught me that time. Boy, nothing gets by you, I'll tell you.
I'm interested in these engines, and so are others. I am my own agent, posting pictures I find informative or otherwise enlightening. You are free to look on, or not. You are free to post replies, or not.
I am not required to care what you think.
Ain't freedom grand?
