The 3.6 may not be exciting motors, but they do run quite well. I sold my 57 this year to a member who had one as a young man, and I was glad to see it go to a very good home. I have a 55 also, and a 50. I have yet to do anything with the 50, but the 55 was a basket case left in a discard pile at a local repair shop. I felt sorry for it…..it was stuck pretty bad, but I was able to find a new piston on e-bay and a gasket set with a WTB add on the classified section. Even though it had some pretty good rust in the cylinder, with a fresh hone, new piston and rings, it runs great. These motors are kind of loud though, especially compared to a Lightwin or even an Elgin. (the only other motors I have in that power range.) Good luck with your restoration!
