No sir that is the picture of a Scott Atwater model 497 and it is actually a sleeve for the intake port behind the inspection plate. I was gonna see about getting rings and maybe honing the cylinder and putting new rings in and maybe help the compression a little BUT, guess what NLA there are virtually NO parts available for this engine anywhere on line. I did find and order a gasket kit so I can completely reassemble everything but not actually fix anything. No carb kit available heck can’t find a decal set for it. Pistons and rings out of the question. My paint job is pretty much complete and I’m really proud of it. But I guess I’ll put it all back together and decorate my shop with it. Next up I have a early 50’s 5 hp sea bee or a late 40’s evinrude I can tinker with. The next motor I buy I will check compression first and have something to build upon. I’ll post some pics of the Scott Atwater when I get it reassembled. May go ahead and clean the carb and fix the pull rope and see if it’ll start
It's a jungle out there.
