unknown engine

Post by Michael Zehr » Mon Nov 19, 2007 10:36 pm

OK all you 2-stroke gearheads, I've got one for ya. I found a 2-stroke, opposed twin the other day and I can't find any name on it. It's got a Tilly carb that looks like it has a float bowl on it. I only got the bottom half of the flywheel cover and I suspect the top half may have been marked. What I'm wondering is what it is and is it good for anything vintage kart related. I've posted some pics on 4-cycle.com in the Kart Gallery under zztrucker. Any help anyone can give me would be appreciated. Thanks, Mike

Sounds like it might be an old McCulloch Drone engine.

The question now becomes; Is it good for anything related to karting or should I put it on e-bay as a vintage engine and see what I can get for it?

The last one I saw on ebay brought good money, to bad the top shroud is missing .

Yeah, I've been trying to get back to the garage sale I picked up the engine at and see if the rest of it is still there somewhere. So far I haven't been able to get there.
