Kirk,
I got it in pieces in boxes. The former owner took it apart to restore it and never did anything else. I got it through Ebay and UPS broke a fin from the exhaust housing in shipping. There is some rust in the cylinders and I haven't been able to restore it myself yet. I have since found another exhaust housing and it awaits assembly.
Yes,
The rest of the paint is pretty good to have never been restored. Some parts look a bit worn, but over all, Pretty good. I have all the paperwork for the motor and have scanned most of it in the post about scans of wizard literature to share with others. I wish others would share what they have.
I just happened to be looking at that literature last night. Thank you very much for posting it. One thing that I noticed and was wondering about is the last page stating that a Scintilla magneto is installed on this motor instead of the Eisemann magneto that's listed in the manual. According to the literature I've looked at, the Merc version came with the Eisemann mag. You have any idea what this is about? Which version is on your motor? I believe mine has the Eisemann mag but since it's hard to see underneath, I can't see a model number.
Kirk
my wd-4s has the Scintilla magneto as everything down to the business card came with the motor. I have other stuff that the guy sent later but I never got around to scanning it in and it is nothing necessary.
Brian,
Sorry I never answered this old post until now.
To list pictures, They have to exist on the web. I upload my pictures to photobucket or some other picture hosting site. I then link them by using BB code with the URL of the picture in the code.
To do a picture I type or copy and paste the web address of the picture I want to use.
The letters img with with [ ] around it goes before it.
The letters /img with [ ] around it goes after it.
So we get img http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll272/clockguy2/DSC08008_zpse9866732.jpg /img
to make it work I have to put [ ] around the beginning and end of the "img" and "/img"
the results are this
The rub is, once you upload pictures to a hosting site you should never take them down or delete them or the post that you used them on will be useless to someone searching for info later on.
Hope this helps.
there are other commands besides " img " for pictures. You can use " url " to have a hot link to a post where you can click on the link and it takes you there.
Look up up BB code or bulletin board code to learn other neat tricks.
