Title: Isetta engine parts needed
Post by: NickPoll on February 22, 2012, 09:31:51 AM

Hello all,
     I'm building up an Isetta engine from parts and sectioning it on my milling machine as a display engine. I need a few parts and wondered if anyone has them spare. I don't mind if the parts are damaged as they may be sectioned and it will never run of course. I need the following:
2 x pushrods, rockers & head bolts, fan, advance mechanism & fixing bolt, domed fan cover, cast bit that clamps the rocker covers in place. I know I have some of these parts somewhere, but I can't find them.   Nick.

Dad, you posted this in the wrong topiuc, this should be under "RUMcar Mart", Jim can probably move it.

Anyway, we also need a few more pieces including an Ydral 125 (could be a 175, but I htink its a 125) dynastart side casing.

Thats interesting, I never knew Ydral used a dynastart. Or did you mean the flywheel cover?

Hello Bob,
          The Ydral part Jonathan is on about is a magneto flywheel & cover. I was given this siezed motor by a friend who works in a scrap yard here. My plan is  to section it in the future. I'm not sure what it came from, but it has no forced cooling, so must be a bike. If you want me to send you a photo let me know. It may be of use to you before it gets the chop !               Nick.

Could I interest you in half a wedding dress?

Looks like Jim will have to get his little keyboard mounted hammer out.
