I have posted a number of times about my 6B-S motor.
I model/type/code/ with the type cutout of housing.
I'm wondering if housing has been swapped?

What is the bore and stroke of a 6B and an 8B?

Old is now new. Most parts places do not list model 6B-S. 060102 is a start.
The serial number of 661894 is higher than listed serial numbers for 1957/58.
I do not know what it was mounted to originally. It was green in color. I may
start it soon. Need to mount it on something.

It looks very good with you, well done, the manual that I have list parts up to 901166, many will tell you that they didn't make them after the late 50's.

Is that (901166)the serial number or TYPE? I don't have the Type.

I haven't found one with the B/S stamp in the upper right corner, most are in the lower left corner.
