[SEL] olds

[Michael Young]

David,

I dont know where else the serial no. is stamped other than the plate which
is on the (now missing) crank guard.  The larger engines - 4A, 5A and 6A -
have a nose plate where there is a spot for the number to be stamped,
although a lot have nothing stamped there at all.
