Ian 2,417 #2 Posted December 15, 2015 It looks in very good condition for it's age What size is the engine? It looks quite small! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S1g 579 #3 Posted December 15, 2015 And here it is now that the restoration is almost finished. It looks in very good condition for it's age What size is the engine? It looks quite small! It had been semi restored a few years ago, but stored badly. I believe the engine is about 75 cc two stroke,Ive had the engine fully rebuilt by an ex Wacker employee that I know. They were originally a JLO engine that Wacker purchased the rights to. Still has its original wire rope recoil,can a bit lethal if it kicks back. 3 C-101plowerpower, nigel and Stormin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mister Mad Mower 64 #10 Posted September 23, 2016 Nice , I owned a JAP ( light metalic blue colour ) whacker around 25 years ago , it took 2 to lift it with a struggle as the base was a cast iron block around 24" x 12" x 3"( opposite way to modern machines ) which was machined out in the front section to act as the silencer , sold it to a lad who wanted the engine to drive the propulsion fan on a hover craft of all things ! .
