    I’ve thought that a Scout is the same as a Pal with cowls added below the flywheel and tank. My question is……
    Are all the tanks the same? OR do some of the Scouts have the gas filler moved closer to the flywheel sort of like a Cub? Or do ALL the Scouts have the forward positioned gas filler?

    The Scout was a one year motor that morphed into the Ranger – The pal was always a Pal. . . 😀

    Both early Pals as well as the early Scouts had
    the filler placed at the front of the tank.

    From the motors I’ve seen that "look" to still be original
    the forward gas cap was use on both motors passing
    Serial# 1000 by maybe a few hundred. This not to
    say that you wont find the later tanks on the early motors
    or visa versa because parts do get moved around.
    There were actually 3 variations in the Pal gas tank
    in the 5 years of production.

    I have one I’m sure his original and one is an older restoration, judge for yourself, I see some differences 😉

    Randy,
    What are the serial numbers
    on both your motors?

    The original one is 4201-01253 and the restored one is 4201-01555 , the thumb screw on the original one is different than most I’ve seen maybe it’s been replaced along line? Not sure if it was original to the motor? 😉
