Hi,

Does anyone have a guide to dating Amanco hired man engines (perhaps
individual year production serial numbers?), as I am going to view one
tomorrow and when I'm there I would like to be able to ascertain an
approximate date.

Many Thanks

Andy

Have you had a look at Keith Smigle's excellent web site loads of pictures
by serial number and engine type as well as a dating guide

Andy,

Surely if you are trying to date an engine then you must get rid of your
shyness and just ask it out :-))

Martin's right - the straightforward approach is best.

However, I'd always thought that four strokes are blokes & two strokes are
wimmin - temperamental, expensive to maintain & sometimes difficult to get
them going.

But others may have a different view of course!

Don't forget the irritating high pitched noise that emanates from them :)
