BRAND NEW LATE POLISH CRANKCASE
« on: January 23, 2014, 06:32:53 PM »
By a strange twist of fate I have become the owner of a new 652ccs crankcase from Poland. It is suitable for the later sensor type ignition , which I do not have and hence there is no hole to pop the normal distributor in. Up for grabs if anyone interested.

Well I do not remember too much hot chocolate going down the hatch at RR but I guess there is always a first  :o
Pete does run a fine "day after" cliniic in his tented emporium for the sick & wounded on the Saturday & Sunday mornings so get your orders in  :)
Maybe get to the story later  :o

Don't worry, Marc, it's not like Rusty to stay quiet for long.

Once he's finished uploading items of quality to eBay I am sure he will be back in touch...  ;D

Well I guess that it was more unexpected than strange. I bought a complete set of brand new parts to build a 652 ccs which was quite an exciting prospect. As I was packing away the bits to keep them warm & safe I noticed the lack of a hole to mount the distributor  :o
The crankcase does not even have an engine number stamped on it.
I do not want to go down the late type ignition route as I already have a number of new distributors & electronic ignition kits.
The crankcase would be a good basis if anyone was planning to build an engine for a late import model.
