G'day Ron

I have restored an ET-B (with help from Ray Freeman) so if I can be of 
any help give me a call.
I am in Perth - where are you?

I have a copy of the Instruction Manual which I purchased from Jeff 
Holley. It is Book 1083, and I think $10 covered cost and postage.
This book has a list of part numbers and illustrations.

The original colour is Indian red.

Jeff's address is: 54 Adamson Tce, Bordertown SA 5268 and he is very 
helpful (and quick) to deal with.
He had an article in TOMM on the larger 4 HP model ET-C in  Feb-March 
1999 which may be useful, as there was not much difference,
just a bit smaller all over - same stroke (3.5") but bigger bore ( 
3.375" against 2.75")

Our engine has the piston with the protrusion which pokes up into the 
pre-combustion chamber and cut-away relief for the valves, so is an 
early model, but I do not have the engine number to hand.
