I just acquired a Crosley marine engine complete with all the goodies (4-cylinder inline overhead cam, 44cu in.) The whole thing fits nicely in my car trunk.
I was hoping to ID the year, the serial# is
115230C. Also, does anyone know what model of Zenith carb it is (looking for carb kit too). The transmission is made by Snow-Nabsted out of Hamden, Conn. -- never heard of that make before. It looks to have a gear reduction unit on it too.
Just took a quick look under the cam cover, and the cam looks decent at first peek. I'm an antique outboard collector, so this is new
territory for me - four stroke, valves and a cam - oh, my! :-) I just figured out the little "thingy" on the cam cover is an attachment point for a mechanical tachometer which drives directly off the cam shaft.
Of course, I'm looking for any newbie tips you can offer. I'm hoping to get the motor running, then build a Class-Z/Class-48 runabout racer around it.
Thanks,
Dan |

I have a Crosley pump engine and it has a Carter model (W-O) and a parts house gave me a kit for a late 40's or early 50's jeep carb and it worked, D Custis |

As an outboard collector you should be familiar with the Homelite 4 stroke outboards, they used a vertical version of this engine. These are high revving engines and a reduction would seem fitting. S-N gears were used on the early Palmer Baby Husky, same era as the Crosley. |
