  • No, Sadly it is not. This is a late model Z from the US. 

  • what is your flywheel diameter?

  • @hitnmisskid Sorry for the late reply. I will have to take a measure of it when I am in the yard and get back to you.

  • Nice, have you decided what you are going to run or do with it yet. I have started collecting line shaft and other belt driven machinary to run. Look at my videos and see how much fun I had starting my M. Phil

  • I have line shaft equipment and parts... enough in fact to do the full thing, however I don't have the room for assembly. This was my first running engine. I have since found that a very slight wobble in the flywheel causes the vibrations you see here. It is now on the list for my building a cart as well as straightening out the wobble.

    I have a 3 hp M half way through restoration. Good to see you got that one going.
