Lurking in
this little shed is the dismantled Columbus9th April 2006 I added this interesting engine to the collection. A fellow collector had started to work on it but passed away. It sat for a couple of years in a little shed pretty much forgotten.
The main parts that seem to be missing are the carby/ intake valve assembly, the ignitor, and crankcase door.
Lurking in
this little shed is the dismantled Columbus
It took
a bit of digging to find the flywheels buried under other stuff
Out in the
daylight it looks a bit more like an engine.
16th April
2006. Assembled all the small parts on the engine to see what is there and
what is missing
Most of the
bottom end of the engine seems to be there
The off-side
of the engine
Where the
missing name plate should go
A view into
the valve chamber
The flywheels
The Columbus
stored away.... for now
This is what
the carby should look like. Anyone got one lying around the shed?
