Interpret an A series motor number

Post by **ppomeroy** » Mon Jul 14, 2008 3:21 am

I have acquired an A-series motor with serial number APJM-H-72593. I believe that it is an early Minor engine, but does anyone have more detail? I am more familiar with Sprite/Midget motor nominclature.
Thanks!

minors use the same numbering system, and so do all the other cars as far as Im aware.

Is it a recon (gold/silver seal) unit? They have somewhat different engine no's.

Not a standard number - so it's someone's recon ref. What does the little plate on the side say - if it's still there?

Are you in the UK or is this an Oz number?

Thanks Rob! I knew that someone on this board would know where to find this information.
