It says "500" on the cowl cover.
It's a 4 cyl 50HP. It appears to have a single carb. It's got "thunderbolt ignition" with a timing belt. Anyone have a nutshell explanation of thunderbolt ignition (I'm more familiar with older magneto types).
S/N is 2861616
Need to know anything you can tell me about this one. What year is it? Electric Shift? Is it a Model 500? The only numbers I see stamped is the S/N.

extra bla bla bla...
It seems to be seized but maybe it's just because it's been sitting up for a while. We'll let it sit for a few days with a little oil in the cyls and see if it breaks loose. If the compression is good we'll probably get a manual for it and see if we can get it running. Otherwise it'll be used for parts.
