Paging Dave seley
Re: Can anyone ID this OLD Engine?
I love it. Search clip-on motors, as that's what English called them.
Re: Can anyone ID this OLD Engine?
Daves prolly got one still in the plastic
Re: Can anyone ID this OLD Engine?
Hmm , According to that AC1m # , you seem to have an extremely rare Yamaha AC1M 6 string guitar . LOL
Neat little motor though . ;)
Re: Can anyone ID this OLD Engine?
It's a Derny Cyclomoteur, Zurcher motor. 98cc. (edited)
Re: Can anyone ID this OLD Engine?
I have a 30's skiptooth bike that fit nicely with that engine.
Re: Can anyone ID this OLD Engine?
He is not just dirty, he is spot on. Zurcher 100 (98cc) Circa 1955 based on the carb. (Some are even older than that with the same design, but they updated the carbs as they got better)
Re: Can anyone ID this OLD Engine?
Funny, the air cleaner on that Zurcher is the same metal unicorn one that was used on Minarelli P4 powered Italian bikes of the late 60's like Broncco, Aermachhi Harley Shorster, etc, those collectors pay big for it because they screw on with one screw in the middle, and are almost always lost as they vibrate off
Re: Can anyone ID this OLD Engine?
Show me.. I need to find a bike fitting this engine..
Re: Can anyone ID this OLD Engine?
WOW,,,GREAT info. But web search for Zercher finds not much??
Re: Can anyone ID this OLD Engine?
Zurcher
Re: Can anyone ID this OLD Engine?
Yeah, you are not going to find a surviving bike that that motor will bolt onto.
You probably can't find the info unless you're prepared to do some translating/interpreting.
Re: Can anyone ID this OLD Engine?
It's cool enough to build a bike around.

I just bought a P6 and it's in the mail right now, I'm having a hell of a time trying to find a frame for it . . . . I also wanna build a GP racer. I am probably gonna have to build one from scratch! lol
Re: Can anyone ID this OLD Engine?
Why does the exhaust have 2 ports?

So it can exit left or right per frame it's mounted on.
