I have a Erd 3 cylinder two cycle marine engine with alum crank case, alum intake, direct connected to prop shaft. Magneto ignition with individual cylinders. I believe it was a race engine. Serial #8264. 30HP. Any information would be appreciated. ( year, manual etc.) Engine specs needed. Engine is runnable. |

Not sure of the year of this advertisement. Richard Durgee can probably help. I have one of these.

Thanks for the comeback to my question on the Erd motor. Engine is complete and runnable I believe. Need information on type and style of water pump. Need to know clearance on rod and mains. Plan to make engine runnable asap.Need fuel mixture ratio, proper spark plugs. Any further information would be appreciated. |

I have 2 ERD motors, a 3 cyl. 42 HP 2 cycle
No.5097 with Schebler carb. approx.1911vintage
and a newer 2 cyl. w/ no carb.
I've had them for many years and they are in
great shape, the 3 cyl. has a cart w/ great
old wheels. I have moved and don't have space
for them anymore. email me if anyone is interested.

well, first thing is to get some pictures posted on this forum.
The more the better.
Please be truthful, - if you don't know something - then simply say that you don't.
And if you are interested in SELLING it, please make the price attractive.
To get the top dollar, your engine must have all of the parts external to the engine itself and should have the manufacturer's tag. For each missing part ( eg water pump, timer, carb, etc) , the price goes down a lot.
