Central New York XS650
I have a early engine SN S650-016161. By using the Vin charts I can figure it was either a early XS1B or XS1F engine. It has no provisions for a starter, and no decompression cover. All inspection covers are 3 hole.
but some of the other things about it are really odd. for example the heads from what I've known were numbered to match... this one has some funky numbers at best. The top cover is coded L71.
is this normal?
pic of the intake port...
The engine is seized, but the cam looks to be in very good condition.
back of the engine showing matching cases...
I'm going to try to get it to free up. Maybe build this one for a swap on the bike at a later date. I'm not running a starter anyway, and I do like the symmetry in the head. Just trying to learn a little more about it, Its the only 256 engine I've got.
