3.5 h.p. first year of serial # designates year. Could be a 69,79,89. You'll need to post a picture of it to get the year.

logo and shroud are the easiest to spot that its late 70's- early 80's That decal started around 77-78 timeframe, and went up through the most of the 80's. That shroud started at the end of 1974 on the small H engines and ran through the mid 80's until they made them deeper due to coil fitment....they went totally flat on the face, no hump around the recoil.

Thanks for the history lesson I'm a big fan of old school motors and had my first minibike in 69. I'm currently with this early Zebra..
