[SEL] Pioneer Gen-E-Motor

[peter ogborne]

Thanks Jerry .....very difficult to find that model Briggs .I was interested 
to read through the list and see an engine that was derived from the Smiths 
Motor Wheel . I have a SMW ,not yet restored but as I now belong to a 
Vintage M/C club I will make an effort to get it going.....should make an 
interesting entry in the local hill climb!
