Ruggerini MD - how to see whether one has variable timing?

Post by bhtooefr »

Found a potential MD151 for a project that I want to do (not a BIKE, but a three-wheeler), and am wondering how I can tell whether it has the variable advance injection pumps. Any obvious clues on the engine?

It looks like it might have a taper shaft, though, which means it probably won't be what I want (and I'm not to the "I need an engine for the project to continue" stage, given that it hasn't actually started yet, and I want an MD191 anyway.) Still knowing this would be good, as I am aiming for a Ruggerini MD/Lombardini 25LD/Kohler KD425-2.
