803/948 Engine wanted

Post by MJTGT6 »

Hello there

I am looking for a replacement 803cc engine, mine has blown and with 2 young children and a house to renovate I don’t have many free minutes to rebuild an engine so I need a runner - or certainly near as dammit.

I believe (and someone will tell me) that you could replace the 803 with a 948 without having to change the running gear?

Once I’ve replaced the current unit I will have a spare 803 so should anyone want it for bits/repairs I will be otherwise tripping over it.

Thanks,
Mike

Hello Mike,
I have an 803 engine removed a few years ago in a running condition.
It is a complete engine with manifold, carburettor, dynamo, distributor (and oil!). It has been kept under cover.
I would accept £250. I am in north London.
Kind regards,
Robert
