38890 Engine number - year 1951 Type AXC Sydney NSW Brought this in 2005 off a friend who was

moving to Brisbane. He brought it off someone down in the Snowys. Apparently it had been used on

the Snowy Hydro Scheme (my guess is probably one of the work camps). Engine was seized but was

fairly good shape. Dismantled most of it, cleaned it up and put it back together. Piston came out fairly

easily, but one ring shattered as I was freeing it from it's slot. Had magneto overhauled with new

bearings, clean up and a magnet recharge. Engine started on second crank - probably would have

gone first crank if I'd remembered to turn the on the fuel on the carby! Recovered second compression

ring and magneto cover from engine 31071.
