    I can copy and mail you a parts manual. I could also scan and e-mail one.

    Nice motor and when they are right, they are sweet running. Issues were the cranks, primarily due to undersized rollers. I’d suggest rebuilding the rotary valve and replacing the bearings with sealed bearings. As the bearings wear, the rotor wobbles and rubs the housing thus causing the tolerances to open.

    Hopefully, (and the several I’ve seen have them), you have the 1/2″ long rollers and steel cages. Some had 3/8ths rollers and bronze cages.
