Hello...I'm new to posting here, have been a lurker for a long time but finally have a question worth posting. I'm newly retired from 30+ years teaching special education here in Canada and need some advice. I've been contacted by a gent with a Petter AVA1 No 3143324, 6 bhp,
1800rpm that is missing the whole fuel system ?? (the Petter not the gent). I've not broached the subject of price yet as I don't know if this engine will be practically rebuildable depending upon the availability/cost of the parts. So, What is the opinion of the group? Is this a good quality engine for turning a gen head, with parts available, at a reasonable price? Also is it subject to tinkering as I can't seem to quit doing that to my VW's and other assorted bits of machinery? Stan in Kimberley BC Canada- posted
