I’ve now got what I thought were 4 Elto Pal’s, but now that I look at them, 3 are marked 4266, and 1 is marked 4203, and 2 have larger heads and different exhaust manifolds than the other 2. Basically I’ve got 2 of each kind, but 3 are marked 4266. Does anyone have pictures of the different models so I can figure this out? I need to find parts for one but I’m not sure what parts I’m looking for now…
Ye Olde Outboard book says:
4203 is a 1937 Pal
4266 is a 1938-1941 Pal:
SN to 2000 is 1938
SN to 7000 is 1939
SN to 12000 is 1940
SN 12000 and up is 1941
Ok, that helps a little. Now I at least know they’re all Pals, but are there any differences with the different heads as far as the internals? I don’t really want to tear apart one of my 3 runners to measure it.

give it a try !
first model 4203 is 0.9 hp and has a cast iron cylinder
last model 4266 is 1.1 hp cylinder is made of an other alloy
4266 cylinders on models up to #12000 are different then the later ones
with #12001 and up

you find parts manuals to see the details.
there is also a model 4253 but I have no info about that one.
😉 good luck

Ok, that helps. The one I need to find rings for is the 1937 4203 with the cast iron cylinder. I might try to take apart my runner to take measurements, but the nuts look pretty rusty… I’ll check out that link now
Tubs, thanks a lot, I’ll order those right away. Garry, thanks for clarifying. I would have expected the pistons and ring to be different between the types of cylinders.
Nope. There is variations in the pistons but the size
of the rings is the same in all Pal models.
If you have a piston you can measure and
confirm these dimensions.
Ok, I think I just have a couple more questions- What should the ring gap be? And what is that little piece of rubber that seals the tube going from the water pump up to the head and where can I find one? That’s the only other piece missing on this motor, apart from a single bolt holding the tank on
