[SEL] 1-1/2hp Sattley Paint Color and ID Please.

[Alan Bowen]

Thanks for the pix, Ron
   
  I printed them out and showed them to my new engine.
  Mine has no V groove in the muffler side flywheel. It does have an 8" X 2-3/8" pulley on that side.
  Mine has no sub-base like yours has.  Is that aluminum or unpainted steel?
  Mine has a different model Wico mag.  It is bigger and has a different lead out.
  Mine doesn't have the gear cover like I think I see on your pix.
   
  The bore & stroke seems to be 3-5/8" X 4-1/2"
  I saw the holes where the engine tag belongs on top of the hopper.
  I need some kind of fuel tank. Right now all it has is a little B&S tank that looks kinda stupid.
   
  I was guessing the paint color is right because of all the nice pin stripping and decals.
  It makes me want to cry that whoever last painted this engine didn't prep it right.

Alan, I got one just like it. They are a good little engine. I got mine some 45 years ago and it was a dark green. I think this is the correct color for them.

A nice little Sattley jumped in my truck because the PO didn't know 'nuff to give it the care it needs. I think it is a 1-1/2 hp engine anyway,,,, see below,,,

It has been painted a nice dark green with name decals and pin stripping.
The problem is the green was painted over yellow and not prepared right. The green is chipping off to show the ugly yellow in too many places. Is this engine supposed to be green? The PO said it was painted like that when he bought it.

You ask which Sattley is it???
Well, The engine is missing it's tag if it ever had one,,,,
Who built the Sattley engines? Since they are not listed in A.G.E.S. 1872 under Sattley I don't know where to look.
This is a nice little open crank H&M with Wico spark plug fired engine. 
It has two solid flywheels that are 15-1/2" and have a 1-3/4" face. 
The flyweights are on the governor not the flywheel. 
The mag side flywheel has a little flip out crank.
