ELTO Speedster 1949

Basement find, hasn’t run since 1971, looks good, Oh yeah it is stuck. Seafoam in the cylinders and let it sit for a while and see if I get lucky!!!! Any helpful hints on this model????? This one was born the same year as yours truly.
Thanks Jim

More info on my new old motor. The Seafoam in the cylinders and a little back and forth on the flywheel nut and it is free, I can tell by rotating the crankshaft that one cylinder has low compression. The coils have something leaking from them, it’s a translucent amber color-dialectric maybe. The flywheel nut was extremely loose and the flywheel itself will rotate slightly maybe 3-5 degrees independent of the flywheel hub. I think I found the reason this motor was left in the basement 45 years ago. I’m going to need a new flywheel for sure.

Any one know what the P/N of the flywheel is???
Any one know if there is an alternate flywheel for an ELTO Speedster flywheel maybe a Johnson or Gale.
My ELTO Speedster model #5101-
Thanks in advance.

Garry, thanks for the print, I think it answered some questions that I haven’t even thought of asking yet. Looks like eccentric water pump and a plain bearing motor. I thought you would come through with the necessary info. Thanks again.
