Help identifying an engine
« on: April 22, 2015, 06:53:07 PM »
I know my ignorance is showing now! At the last swap meet in my area I gave $5 for this engine.
I'm thinking it's a Norvell, but the markings on the back are puzzling me. Is this a 1cc? It seems to have fair compression.
Any input from the Gurus in here would be immensely appreciated.

Thanks Andrew. If it ever warms up here I'll see if it runs. Then I'll know whether to mount it in a plane or at the end of my fishing line! :-\

Don't run it like a Cox.  It is an AAC construction (I might be wrong about the exact letters, it is some flavor of modern metallurgy though), they need to get heated up and kept at operating temperature.  Don't flip them dry.  If it is very tight at the top with "pinch" then using a heat gun to preheat prior to break in starting is recommended.

Cox heads fit those too.
