Is there room for another NEW Old'un?.

Hello all,
Thanks for letting me in. I found you when searching for vintage engine info. I also have to declare a link with New member Clivemuseum.
I'm one of his Volunteer Minions who breathes (attempts to) mechanical life into his old Mowers..... Sorry Clive, I found your post after I had registered.
I have a great interest in Classic/Vintage small engines, whether they are stationary or moving under their power etc.
I have a reasonable little workshop to tinker in. Enough projects and outstanding jobs to last me another lifetime (I'm slow).
I also recognise a few Usernames here as well, so again thanks for having me and hope to equally return any help given.

Regards.
Richard

Hi Richard, welcome aboard.

Hello and to the forum

Hello and welcome!

I recognise your username from 'My Old Machine'

Hi Richard and a very warm welcome to the forum.

Hi, like you I like small engines, because I haven't got room for larger ones!

Thanks and if you need any assistance with details on your little red B & S engine acquisition, I may be of help if you can give me Model, Spec and Serial number off of the cowling. I have a 4hp version of that type.

If it's on the silver bit there may be a problem as that is a later date replacement.

I can narrow down the Model (capacity-wise) with a count of the cylinder head bolts.
So I've worked out the Model Number, except for the first digit (*0302). If you plan to pull the head for work, piston diameter will reveal the exact model/capacity.
Should have pneumatic operated governor and I think I can see a fixed max speed device on it. Carb is a small flo-jet.
Depending on what you plan to do with it, we can get enough info to establish spare part numbers and even a parts manual.
No chance with a build date, what with the missing serial number. Possible mid sixties, but the style had a long use period.

Looks like 8 head bolts, not sure when it will be looked at as there are a few in the restoration queue ahead of it, but thanks for the info so far
