    Water cooled glow engine

    Just couldn't stand seeing this sit on epay any longer and really not sure why someone didn't grab it. Price was right for one of these more rare engines with a water cooled head, glow plug conversion and the remote control carb (not sure of the manufacturer). This thing has great compression, a pretty clean pull rope and barely any residue in the exhaust manifold. It has been run but certainly not much. Think I have 2 other water cooled engines so I guess it's time to find an old school boat to power up. This one has only the top portion of the head water cooled but I like to have the recoil start anyway. The type with full head water cool can go without a flywheel and blower housing to lighten them up if preferred.

    After moving everything in the sheds I’ve found 2 Kohler K91 engines , by the looks of them they haven’t run for a while. The green one I bought from Paul last year and the black one I’ve had years and can’t remember where it came from. The green one is missing the recoil starter and spinning it with the drill i found it had no spark, removed the points and cleaned and regapped and tried again, i did manage to get it to fire a couple of times but that’s all. I’m going to strip the carb and put it in the altrasonic cleaner. The black one was much the same although I did get it to run briefly so that one’s carb is going in the cleaner’ While i was digging the cleaner out i found an Aspera engine cover with the same recoil starter but no cup so if anyone has one I’m looking.
