Cute little engine - what is it??????????????????????
« on: December 13, 2007, 06:08:43 AM »
I came across this little CI engine in my accumulation of stuff. Anyone have an idea what it might be?

The workmanship looks superb and the .49 CC indicates that it is .03 CID.

Hi, Guys - thanks for the info.

I have some Zeuses (Zeese?) but I had no idea that they made anything small.

I've been told that the large ones are really good for outboard weight!!  LL~ LL~ LL~

Actually, I have no intention of using it - it will go into the Russian engine section of the museum.

Bob,

You might want to hang on to that cute little engine. Not often you can find one, with your initials cast into the crankcase.  ;D
