Thanks Marc,
I had checked thesamba and the charts had not listed the AF series. I was
wondering whether I had read an E as an F.
The distributor may not be the original or can be changed over to an AE one
should the need arise. The carb is already changed over to a 30 PICT along with
an adapter to fit the wider dual port manifold. So thats again not a concern.
I know nothing about the I/M codes. This particular unit did have the nifty
'M-240' plate sandwitched between the generator pedestal and case.
Since the new owner would go for a complete rebuild, we can hope to end up
with an engine with some extra ponies.
Best regards,
Asad
Karachi, Pakistan.
