Confuzzed, Sachs made many different engines for lots of different applications, while working at Pensacola Sport Cycle I had a call from the Union Pacific Rail Road, they had a Sachs two stroke engine that drove a hydraulic system to a 500 ton jack and they could not get it started.   It turned out to be a 500cc single cylinder 2 cycle engine that was flooded, He! He! They were confuzzed as you are.  Maybe there is someone from Canada that can tell you what you have. [8D]

Jake, I've been trying to reach you about some parts. The (412) number is a fax machine, right? Can I reach you on the (724) number, and if so when should I try? Thanks, Gavin.

RON CARBAUGH  YOU MY BE RIGHT . and DOUG.you are right about the engine size, but what the heck was it used for .Jake
