Hi Jack,

In relation to the rope guide, I think it would not be long before a new owner removed the rope from the tube and just used it as per normal. I feel it would be awkward to use. Some interesting things in the advert below, I always thought the Gold Cheetah engine was introduced with the 8 bolt cases but I think it came in with the cooling shroud. Incidentally there are 3 types of cooling.

1. Large one piece pulley with fins underneath.

2. 2 piece metal shroud consisting of an upper and lower section fixed to the engine with brackets held on by the case bolts and a metal fan.

3. Single piece metal cowl secured to a large die cast base and a combined metal fan/starter assembly. This was to enable the use of a recoil starter, the metal fan is similar to an alternator cooling fan and probably was sourced from an automotive contractor.

Nylon wheels, which I thought I had spotted in other adverts but this one is quite clear.



I will do a more detailed comparison of the engines in another post.

All the best
Paul
