Mc5 crank/Mc6 crank
Posted: Tue Aug 10, 2010 3:05 am
Anyone interested in swapping a very clean Mc 6 crank for a very clean Mc 5 crank?
I have one of those odd ball motors stamped Mc 5 & 6 and the 5 has been stamped over with an X. The side cover and flywheel cover are Mc6 type but the crank is a Mc 5 version. To make things more confusing I have the coil with the long wire to reach across the head and the head is painted on the spark plug side but not painted on the side that would be exposed in a Mc 6 application so it would seem the motor was assembled at one time with the Mc5 type side cover and flywheel cover with no hole for the spark plug.
It would make more sense to assemble the little devil with a 6 crank since the block is marked 6 and I have a correct Mc 6 Tilly carb for it.
If someone needs a 5 crank and has a 6 to swap please drop me a note.

PS... I'm also looking for the sliding kill switch assembly that goes in the early flywheel cover... anyone?
