Hi Kye and CyberJack,

I have found out how Kye can have an exact date of his 7F engine manufacture. The year and month is stamped on top of the magneto rotor. Easy to get at by removing the starter and shroud revealing the fan. The fan is held on by the centre nut which will come off easily, there may still be a paper packing piece on top of the rotor. Under this stamped into the top of the rotor will be the date

The pics below are from an EBay auction

I just spotted this as well, you may not have to strip the shroud etc off if you can find it near the points cover

Let us know what you find Kye :-)
