scored a somewhat rare motor

[freddyray21]

1958 18 hp Fasttwin. The motor itself is not rare there are a million of them out there, but this one has a factory fuel pump and set up for single line. It was an option back then and apparently this one had the option when it was new. Pics to come.

no spark so it probably needs coils. The medallions are cracked and chipped like most. The cowl is in nowhere as good a shape as the motor.

I saw an old Ted Williams on Craigslist about a year ago that had a factory cigarette lighter built in it. It was in great shape and the guy only wanted $50 for it. I was tempted but I didn't feel like driving the 3 hour round trip to get it.

Hey Freddy, cool motor. I didn't realize they had this option. That one looks rebuildable, too. So, the lower cowl only has one hole to allow a single line?
