Looks early 47-48?
Guy says "It would be prudent to clean the carburettor and rinse out the fuel tank before starting"
I would guarantee it will need a new coil and condenser, clean the carb is the least of your problems.
Did run decades ago when last used, classic
Still a good project.
Aluminium C clamp transom bracket, rare I thought.

Re: Early 102 on the Bay
How about that...has solved a mystery for me.
My friend has AD2710
Except for clutch of course and...
No aluminium brackets but has 90 deg clamps.
It looks like AC2721 has a cracked block?

That looks like a really nice original example. Very nice

Re: Early 102 on the Bay
Happy to report that AC 2721 didn't have a cracked head and fired up on the 4th pull. (the eBay image did look like it had a crack but I was assured by the owner that it didn't) A full water test is next on the list on John's recommendation. (I'll make sure the container is large enough)
Re: Early 102 on the Bay
Yes, a great buy that. If you look on the SOS main web pages there are some prints of early post war magazine tests, showing an exactly the same engine.

Re: Early 102 on the Bay
It is looking good, was surprised it had a spark, could be arcing between windings, hope it is sound.
Will be interesting to see it run in water, I find that the older villiers condensers fail when they get hot.
Normally after about 20 to 30 minutes of hard running on a boat.
I replace them if I want to use the motor other than in a test tank.
