old o.s.
i just came into possession of an old O.S. 2 stroke engine. the engine has an approximate bore of .910 and stroke of .945. this engine has point ignition, and the ignition coil is missing along with a broken spark plug. there is what appears to be a stattic suppresser wirred to a ground wire with only japanese writing on it. i contacted the tech dept. at O.S. and they suggested i contact this organization. can anyone help with info on this engine? the engine also has a heavy brass "V" pulley mounted on the crankshaft stamped O.S..

If you type "OS Engines History" into your search bar you will find all kinds of great reading about OS . PS , to answer a possible future question early , yes , your engine likely has some value depending on condition . No , not thousands but certainly a couple to few hundred , again depending on the all important condition variable ....

THANK YOU BAX
I'm right handed and had surgery on my right hand yesterday so i'm a little slow typing today!
the web site was spot on, i have a 1947 type-12 engine. my engine looks new compared to the site photo. the online site photo does not show the long set screw with a knurled knob that is
used to adjust the ignition timing but everything else is exact. GREAT JOB
