    That's what I figured. Some sort of PCV configuration.....

    How do they dispose of the exhaust in a lifeboat installation? I've seen them in operation (drills, etc.), but never noticed.

      I'm digging what I think is a manual pump for changing the oil. Located aft of the fuel pump on the aft housing. The early model A-4 has it located down low between the carb and fuel pump. Not the easiest place to reach.

        I want that 8 HP single! I really don't know why, or what I'd do with it, it just seems like a really cool old motor to have in the shop.

          You would paint it pink "for your daughter" (right) and mount it on a go-kart.

                Ya know, I do have some leftover pink and teal engine paint ...

                Lat64, I missed that thread. Yours is the "Atomic 2", which I've heard of before, but I never knew there was an "Atomic 1".
