I had one. To be truthful, it wasn’t my kind of motor, I’m just not into the racing stuff. It was a 6MMHR with (what I’m told) is the less-seen double anti-cavitation plate style lower unit. Not perfect, but a nice surviving example. Mine came with the steering bar, deadman throttle, correct pressure tank with regulator, original booklet, and receipts for parts bought from Swanson.
Previous owner had bought it in 1957 and kept it until I got it in 2005. I took it all apart and made sure everything in the powerhead was OK to run, but never ran it except to fire it on a stand in the garage. Took it to Constantine to take part in the Champion Hot Hod Round-up that Roger Dykehouse organized in 2006. This motor is now in the Suter collection, as is the Elto Midget Racer that I also once owned.
