M151-A2 Engine

[cstinson]

I have a M151-A2, W/Ropes, that I am about to start restoring. It has a running engine, but it is weak, and I was wondering if anyone knows if there are new Long Block engines available. Is it easier to overhaul existing engine? Attached are some pictures of my MUTT...

Thanks.........Warthog. I'm new to this Website, but I am catching on. I have some pictures that I will post, but I need my daughter to help with this. I am an older Vet, and am not a Computer Wiz by any stretch.

Happy to help keep us posted on your build I'm a fan of the M151s they are a nice little MV

I finally found the Tag with the Serial #, and Body #, on my M151-A2. It was on the Transmission tunnel, under the fuel lines, as others have described. The SN# is: 11639700, and the Body #, which is directly under the SN, is: B151-6420. Can anyone tell me if this reveals the Year of production? I am very excited to have found this tag, as I have read in this Forum that it is necessary to apply for a Title. Any help would be appreciated.

Aloha...there are usually quite a few people/dealers with low mileage complete take-out A2 powerpacks....I'd take your current engine out as a spare and look for one of the low mileage t/o's...MUCH cheaper then rebuilding....

Thanks..........I'm going to pull mine apart ans see what I have, and probably overhaul it as a spare, as you advise. Just spoke to a guy in St. Louis that has access to some of those PO engines.

We have some n.o.s blocks and lots of good take outs. Tnjmurray.com. Murco@tnjmurray.com

Thanks........I'm thinking about buying a takeout to install, and overhaul mine as a spare. I will call you and discuss my options as far as complete engine, long block, transmission, etc.
