So what would you like to see next? How about a big shiny four stroke opposed cylinder twin (:|~?

Yes, Sir.
My Goldberg Anniversary Cub's been waiting for a 60 FS twin for 20 years.

After that a boxer four with Lycoming or Porsche or VW embossed on the valve covers.
Then maybe a V twin labelled HD or MotoGuzzi...
Not even talking Wankels here (though i think there's one somewhere in this thread)


flyingboxcar

Yes there is a wankel up in the posts. Not that deep pocketed to afford any of the names you splattered all over   :giggle:
Coming up next is a Glow Saito 300 Twin  ;D

Here are the pictures of the promised Saito 300 Twin opposed. Saito has two versions one with dual carb and other with single carb. This is single carb version

The engine does not sport a traditional exhaust muffler but just two flexible exhaust stacks

Time for an update,
I also realized that some where down all these years I have gathered more engines than I had planned to and kind of turned into a collector of sorts.
Never mind folks, enjoy the new shiny four stroke glow engine from the early days of four stroke and coming from then factories of OS.
The MK II OS 60 FS Open rocker.
The engine did come slightly used but no box or other items. Enjoy the pictures that are self explanatory

So here it is
The poor thing had to spend almost three months at Customs storage but was finally able to escape and will soon see duty in a GP Super Skybolt

Last batch of pictures
I notiiced two changes to the standard practice by OS
1. The prop driver has been lightened see the picture
2. There have been cost cutting measures as far as nipples on the engine and muffler go. You would notice the excess fuel outlet is not a threaded brass nipple, same for the muffler pressure tap (just about visible in the muffler pic). Instead these are cast along with the main body   
I also noticed the flat machined on the shaft is bit longer than usual from earlier engines

Sure Raghav, I will sell you the mounting screws one full set for that amount. Let me know if you want the screw ;D

Doing a reconciliation realized that there have been 57 different kind of engines that have been showcased. Time to pull out others and put them up here. That will also be a perfect excuse to relube them for preservation.

So as said time to put up few more of the slimers for admirers of wet fuel power. This would be the 58th type
This time my third (and last as of today) Saito. The other two Saito's in my stable have already been showcased at earlier posts.
This time it is an Old but NIB Saito 65

One might have noticed the different muffler (when compared to present Saitos). The earlier muffler on the blue boxed engines was same but with shiny black coating all over the muffler. IMHO this muffler looks much better than the current ones.
Here are some more pictures of the engine
The second picture shows the choking arrangement by means of a sliding choke plate that is friction fit. The plate would need to be connected to appropriate push/pull rod for activation.
Also one may notice the air bleed hole on the carb in third picture. The carb is actually a twin needle fuel metering type and the air bleed hole that is not drilled through looks to be a remnant from earlier production batches when the carb might have been an air bleed type.
