There is a really nice 2hp, 4 cycle, Regal inboard marine engine on eBay. The eBay number is 400189391534. If I wasn't trying very, very, hard to stick to Maine engines only, I would bid on this one.

Well you need to get bidding then as it is marine. They run nice. What the heck was it sprayed with?

Maine not marine.

Looks like cooking oil doesn't it!

Methinks that's the new trend: save the original paint if you can. Linseed oil seems to be the coating of choice.

There is a big trend in flywheel engine collecting, that it is only original once, so leave it that way. If there is some original paint left, save it. This has a couple of good things going for it, one you don't have to be as worried about oil and grease messing up the new paint, and also, it is a much easier restoration.

Patina to some, Grunge to others. I find myself at shows etc by passing the shiny ones and taking a look at the originals much more often !

This old Universal WM Fisherman has been sitting in its shipping crate for several yrs and low on my priority list to do anything to , when I first saw the engine I thought that someone had bolted one of our southern Alligators to the intake manifold but with a closer look I determined it was really a Carburetor ?

There is a little difference between the Regal and the Fisherman.
