[SEL] famous

[Russell Gilbert]

My error there Edd. Yes both engines run a quadrant and timming control 
lever. They are also identical parts for both air cooled and hopper cooled 
engines. Part number G6945 is the quadrant which suits both engines. I 
found this info after searching through some gear I had packed away. They 
are starting instructions & parts lists for both types of engines (photo 
copies). I will look forward to hearing from you Edd on whether or not your 
engine has the quadrant. Would be more than happy to use bits of mine to 
help with the same in turn.

Could be good timing Edd; as my parts are going cross country in a couple 
of weeks to Pauls so it should not be to hard to get them to a foundry etc.

Page 246 of wendles shows a hopper cooled engine and mentions "These 
engines were basically the same as the vertical air-cooled models"  Your 
engine Edd could most deffinately come in handy for comparing notes.
