Default Norvel .074 AME U/C?

Does anyone know if Norvel ever made an .074 AME U/C? I recently purchased one from an auction site only to find out it wa a Big Mig R/C with the carb barrel removed and everything filled in with what looked like J B Weld. The cylinder liner also had two big gouges in it. The seller gladly took it back and gave a full refund. However, it looks like this same engine is being listed again-beware.

Yes, it did have five ports-not three.

Thanks in advance for helping me get over my lack of knowledge.

Well, thanks for that.... I was going to bid on it last time and was thinking about it this time. Might be worth a shout out to FeEbay's customer service because eventually this guy is going to sell his "rare and collectible" AME .074 to someone who won't check right away and then he won't refund when they do.

Never give an inch when a 2x4 will do.


Never heard of an AME .074 until I saw his ad, BTW.

The heli version had a venturi and used a rod in the muffler for the throttle...it would probably take a regular head and work like a cl engine...Rog
