TOPIC: 1960 Flying Scott 60HP Without an issue...

Good day Gentlemen,
Brand new to the forums and proud owner of the only Flying Scott 60HP that runs perfect first time every time. Bought it along with a 1960 GlassCraft Cavalier. It had been used sparingly and kept in a garage by the same owner since it was new until last year. What an original gem! I just wanted to let the other Scott owners know that there is at least one (for now) that still runs like it was new. Here's a couple pictures (if they post as I can't preview to see if they upload until I submit...):

Thats pretty sweet

Awesome! and I have a couple of observations for you. I think your motor may be a 1959 or at the very least an early 60. There are a couple of tells 1) the block is painted white, my 60 motor is red. 2) the carbs appear to be the type used in 59. I have a 59 parts motor with the same carb setup.

Something else that I'm verrrry curious about is the starter. That's a 75hp starter. I would love to see how its mounted and where everything was moved to get it to fit. I see the solenoid is on the front of the lower housing (mine is at the rear mounted to the block.) I have a 75hp starter that I would love to use but I haven't been willing to tackle to mod.

Thanks for sharing and making us all jealous!
