Is a Jacobsen 4hp 98cc 2 stroke worth anything?

[jspbtown]

This came of the Fox Sundowner I am building. Looks complete. Spins. Clearly made in Japan

Worth anything?

Those are cool engines ... Quiet running unless you change the muffler ... They were used on Reel Mowers ... Someone will chime in that has more knowledge ... I've been trying to talk my buddy out of his but he wont give it up LOL ...

Interesting. Thank you. Never even heard of them before. I guess I will post it for sale

These are essentially a Robin EC10 made by Fuji heavy industries. And a dam good engine at that! No so much for high performance, but for long reliable service. Parts seem to be readily available on the Bay. The only drawback I could see was an odd output shaft on mine, the clutch would have to be run outboard, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Overall a good engine to get your two stroke fix!

 

[jspbtown]

Wow...appreciate the info. Doesn't seem to be too much interest in it yet

 

[Neck]

What, are you wanting to sell it? If so you didn’t make that clear.

 

[jspbtown]

Yes...please see my post above...it says "I guess I will post it for sale".

And I posted it in the classifieds.

I would have to agree with Neck having spent sometime inside the doors and minds of these industry typical facilities and Engineers. Tight center tolerance products. Can't shoot for better in process. Not saying its superior to anything state side just saying i know there intent in fit and finish. Good find.

I picked one out of a shed years ago and always had an affection for it . One day ill slap it on some bike. Would like to find a cool exhaust for it. Very tiny pto though. My plan was to have it chromed.

I know this is an old thread, but is this engine still floating around among you folks?

 

[ccahoon]

This is an old topic, my new friend, but I would have snagged it long ago. Good luck.
They are out there. Be patient and keep looking.

Could you be convinced to sell it and ship it at my expense?

 

[sparkwizard]

Oh, and in case any of you don't know...I am interested in old 2 cycle engines. I fix them and I use them. Some times, I even sell them.
Post a topic in the 2 cycle section, PM me or post them for sale if you have one. Not interested in any Chinese bicycle engines. Thank you.
Chainsaws, snow mobiles, lawn mowers...the louder, the better!
Post your own thread. this one is old and stale.

What part of indiana? I'll be in Portland next weekend. Not trying to hijack the jacobson, but if I can pick it up, I'll send it to @sparkwizard

His profile says Martinsville.
That is a very nice offer, Sir!
Looks like it's south/southeast on Indy.
