These engines are designed to run generator or pump station in remote areas.
They start with a hand crank or rope pull and do not need a battery since a magneto has been installed.
A label on the outside indicates the moisture content. If Pink the foil has been breach or damaged and moisture could enter.
All the engines had a Blue color therefore perfect preserved.
The first engines without the crate we sold quickly the other half will be stored.
Finally the engine emerge out of the layers of protective material.
A label from the machine shop is attached to each and every engine indicating the level of the extensive rebuilt.
Unfortunate the company is long time out of business. Believe me I tried contacting them for any further info and or parts.
Each engine has a PTO to drive external units like a pump or generator.
The hand crank will turn the engine over and the kill switch in the middle does stop the engine again. A Zenith p3 Carburator close the same as the BMW 600 unit with a hand control throttle linkage are being used. Also the help of a RPM limiter the engine will peak around 3600 rpm. Way less than the Isetta which is a good thing for the motor.
Another view of the same engine.
A plain muffler was installed.
This time without a heat shield.
Cooling shroud is short without the extension for the heater but can be added later on
The flywheel is almost the same as the isetta.
The "S" and "O/T" markings are the same only the Advance marking has to be marked onto the flywheel. These flywheels are balanced and are coated with grease
This engine number 59 out of a 60 lot pile of NEW rebuilt units. Nice find indeed!!
There is NO Isetta engine number on the timing chain cover therefore if you wish you can add your OWN car number to the cover to have it matching again!!
Only a data plate on each motor with the year and internal specifications.
This plate can be removed if needed.
Only four rivets hold them in place.
This 1960 long bloc engine has 297 cc and has a output of 7 HP at 3600 rpm the speed the engine will run under max load.
Taken the rpm limiter out the engine will perform like an Isetta engine as longest you install the Bing carb and a Isetta camshaft.
Some of these engine received a dome piston which raised the compresseion from 7.2
to 7.8:1
The Zenith carb can be used for the BMW 600 as longest the accl pump has been installed and the jets and linkages were changed over
