Ok Chris. Mole has contacted the wife of the seller of the engine. It's a long story but basically the engine was sold as a runner. Unfortunately the seller had a serious accident that has left him brain damaged but his wife will ask him if he remembers what the mileage was and she will get back to Mole today.

Ok Chris. The engine has done 12,500 miles. If it doesn't sell before the 24th it will be going to auction on the 24th October, along with the other bike stuff. Sooooo, grab a bargain mate

 

I'll post up a link to the auction as soon as.

[Studley Ramrod]

Auction starts tomorrow Chris, so if you want the engine please let me know as soon as. I'll post a link to the auction when I get it

[Studley Ramrod]

Auction is live and ends tomorrow at 7pm

 

9'er engine https://www.symondsa...c79adaa6?ic=144

 

All lots.  Search facility.  https://www.symondsa...9430d6a3?ic=144

would bid on the carbs but a bit far away to collect .

cant see if the would be boxed for courier collection 

I think a lot will go for next to nothing or very low as others about the country will have the same problem

A good few parts eh, Lot # 94, i'm pretty sure Ken bought this item from me ! and if so the fuel tap is brand spanking new, cost £70 from Fowlers so could be a bargain for somebody.

Well done chaps. Thank you for the massive efforts SR. Very proud of you boys.

If anyone is interested in bits I can transport them to Oxon for collection if that helps and possibly deliver if atwix devonia/oxon if bits are still devonia based?

[fixitsan]

Damn, I just forget to check back here.

Sale for the engine says it's ended.

Hopefully it's gone to a good home

Mole might still have the engine Chris, it didn't reach reserve.  Want me to find out for you ?

[chrisbee]

Loads of stuff went unsold, i had forgotten about it tbh..

[madmopedracer]

pity on the carbs i offered £100 on Facebook  but couldn't bid as no postage offered

i think the bits would sell if boxing for couriers could be offered

Yes please, thanks for offering.

 

I would be driving down to collect it if I can't find a cheap pallet service, so if there was something else someone wanted and I could transport it Northwards for them I could help with that.

[Studley Ramrod]

Still for sale, I've sent you Mole's number mate.

[fixitsan]

Still for sale, I've sent you Mole's number mate.

Cheers, I'll call soon

Chris. Mole came across an FB post by Wicky about the engine, in which he says......

 

 

Ya picked it up ferra song deudder day. It's bin down the road as the generator cover is gouged but it'll do. Chap said 'I'm not sure if it runs right or not as it had a problem many years ago and was removed and a used Enjun was slotted in'. Straight away I guessed either the windings in the generator are toast or the cam chain slipped due to the original tensioner playing up. I have just noticed the cam chain adjuster bolts are indeed lose and the cam cover has definitely been removed and poorly refitted as there is an excess of liquid gasket so this could be a scrapper or if the timing is only slightly out it'll be fixable.

 

Soooo, would you still be interested mate ?  Obviously it'd cost less than previously mentioned.

Appreciate the update, I've been away a few days and despite trying hard to pick up work down in Bristol before Christmas, which would cover my expenses to collect the engine, I can't get anything lined up, so I'm probably going to have to leave it now anyway. Appreciate your help so far.

[Studley Ramrod]

Ok, cheers Chris. I think Mole has a buyer for it.

[fixitsan]
