      I have 2 Elto Speedsters:

      63449-1928 stuck but freed up. One cyl/piston saved. Crank pretty rough on the journals, etc About what one would expect from a stuck motor. A good (or at least I think/hope) lower unit. Tank has pee holes/rot from massive mouse nest.

      80671-1929 Both cyls scored and one bad piston; so good rods and one good piston. Lower unit gears are incomplete. Tank will work but rough.

      Hoping to make one out of the 2. I will have many questions but will start with the powerhead.
      -Serial not stamped on the early one but is on the later one.

      -Why the difference on the mounts for the tiller handle mount?

      -oiling “patterns” in the upper crank bushings are different. Is one better than the other?

      Thanks for insight, help, advice, etc
