Baltimore DC area engine parts(carb, alternator, starter motor etc) for sale

[aelxon]

I just pulled a new model A-4 from a 1973 Tartan sailboat I just bought. I already scrapped the engine(even though it turned over : ( ), but have the following parts for sale:

alternator
carburetor
starter motor
water pump
distributor
intake/exhaust manifold
Flywheel and flywheel cover
top part of the fuel pump(not the part bolted to the engine)

I know the starter motor works, not sure about the other stuff, but it all looks pretty ok.

Make me an offer, and let me know how you want to do the exchange. I'll probably have to junk heap this stuff if I don't sell it by this Friday...get it while you can!

I might be in for the alternator - never hurts to have extras.
Why was the engine scrapped - just curious.

Engine was scrapped because I had no space to keep her...subletting the dock I'm on and getting a deal, don't want to raise eyebrows. I assumed the engine didn't run when I bought the boat, then spark plug broke off in it while removing stuff, then extractor broke off when trying to remove the spark plug etc...hoses were all mushy, it was clear the engine wasn't winterized before being stored for 4+ years before I bought her recently. I tried removing the head and it was a PITA, and I really hate getting sucked into engine B.S when I'm trying to focus on sailing...so I pulled the engine and scrapped her yesterday.

Gonna junk the rest of this stuff Thursday if no one wants it, or leave it on a corner somewhere and post the address here.

I had 9 VW engines, in various states, that I had to get rid of once. I love mechanical things. Especially love old ones.

I'm only spread across 4 states and 2 countries right now...you got me beat RC! Theoretically, I like old mechanical things(when not fully dependent on them). When your living space becomes fouled by the smell of penetrating oil, and the labor involved to make things right stretches into infinity, and hey it's just an "auxillary" engine anyway, I feel justified throwing in the towel.

All the engine pieces are gone
