Hi,

I've picked up an engine at a swap meet, I just wanted a .60 size engine, nothing special. I taken a picture of the engine that I bought and was told was is a Fitzgerald - but now I'm told it is a Fisher. See picture below.

On the side you can see it has an "F" which has light lines through it, kinda like a flying "F", you can just make them out in the picture. Directly below the "F" is "R.60" and on the other side of the engine is stamped 60045.

All I want is to verify the name of the engine and get a manual, or the specifications, for the engine from someone. Can anyone verify that it is in fact an English built Fisher? If so, do you know where I can get a manual?

I would appreciate any help you can give me.

Thanks,

Wayne Miller

Wayne,

See if it looks like this.

Fitzpatrick, maybe?

Hi Max,

The engine looks very similar to mine, although the picture is a little blurry. The number of fins appear to count the same on the head and sleave.

The exhaust port looks a little different, but I think the one in the picture you sent me looks like it may have an exhaust adapter or extension on it.

The carb on mine also seems a little different and perhaps mine is a little newer model carb.

I'm enclosing two pictures, one with the same view and the other with a view of the opposite side.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks for your help.

Best regards,

Wayne

Hi Max,

After looking at the pictures, I guess its about time I cleaned this thing up!

Best regards,

Yeah,

Its a Fisher. I really want the XR model with the built in fuel pump. Yours has the telltale brass plug under the crank where it was run from. On the XR there was a pressure nipple here and the pump was built into the rear of the crankcase. This design was later copied by O.S. on their high performance .60 engines. Enjoy.

It looks like a copy of an OS .60 FSR, even the carb, and the
two screws holding it on. The OS's didn't have the crankcase screw.
