Looks like one of the old SquareEX engines. Also known as PNA engines.

It's the deluxe red square x
 
OK, now that I know it's a old SquareEX engine or a more accurately a deluxe red square x , is it worth bothering with or should I just put it with all the stuff I seem to collect :-)

OHMYGOD!
 
A four Cylinder Red X! Now that is valuable!

.....but sometimes you will burn out the last cylinder in a lean
run, since it doesn't get much air.

Then you have an Ex-X.

OK Ladyflyer you got me. I will hang on to it for 10 years then throw it.

This thread is getting out there. :-)

I said it was a PNA engine. As in Picture Not Available. :-)

I don't know if Flyhard is putting us on at this point as payback for kidding around with him :-)... or if he really hasn't figured out that his pictures are not posting.

Well, it's a Picco clone...
 
I think they were called SkySports or something along those lines...might not have the name right, but it is a dead ringer for a Picco.

I think You are right This engine was eather produced by Pico or a exact coppy, and was intended for the Quickey-500 market. I believe they came as .40, .45, and.61 They were HOT engines but I am not sure of the workmanship.

It is a Picco, but do you know for what use.
Has a air cooled head, big venturi on the back
and the exhaust is pointing to the prop shaft.
(It is NOT a boat engine)

I have a ops 40 that is perfect. It has the purple anodized head and also has a matching anodized spinner. It has a slide carb and is a front carb side exhust. I will trade you even up for the skyward or buy it. My reason is very simple. I have a brandnew cabrb for that engine that is missing a spraybar and camnnot find one. Maybe if you sell or swap your motor i can see if it will work.

That is a Skyward engine. It is made by Pico for the Canadian distributor and sold as the Skyward here in Canada.

Its a good strong engine, allbeit a bit heavy, but they run and run well! I have two of the 40's and a full tuned pipe for one.

Clarence Lee did a review on them a while back, got good marks from him. My experience says the same.

Greetings ,

This is a Skyward .40 made by Picco for the Canadian Skyward company in Italy around late 70's. They also made a .60 version. In New in Box condition it is very collectible as they only produced them for a year or two. Extremely well made and powerful engines. Attractive as well. I collect .40s and this is one of my favorites! It is better than most current day engines!

I stand corrected!
Apparently they still make them or at least they are available. I'm going to order a few more!
