Not that I can find much information about it, other than its U22 old-timer.
Its been put away for the time being, as I have other things on the go at the moment.
All I know is the basics, 15 HP 2800/3200 rpm and 345 cc, it came as no surprise it is 45kg, especially after I lifted it out of my boot, its also got a hell of a lot of compression.
I cannot see a number or vin plate and its not got Electrolux on the flywheel, so no clue on the date of it, suspect its maybe late 60's.

Re: New acquisition
That's a very clean looking motor Keith & still got it's spark plug covers, now you've got to find a boat big enough to carry it, perhaps you better ask those Aussies who built that nice Murry river boat for a copy of their drawings.
Remote pumped fuel or gravity?

Re: New acquisition
I may say Gravity fuel Charles.
The bracket on it would hold the tank. Not that I have seen one like it. Nice adaption for something however.............

Re: New acquisition
Reed valves & a fuel pump?
It's not a looper is it Keith?
This is a 8-12 litres an hour at WOT motor

Re: New acquisition
I couldn't answer question Charles, I will have to have a look down a plug hole and see what shape the top of the piston is.
It has a fuel pump next to the carb, for an auxiliary tank.

It may be a nice looking outboard but I'm shocked at the amount of weeds on the pathway .
