I am the new owner of this getting if from Dave, great guy.
I can confirm it was used but only slightly and is in pretty good shape.
As well it is the Shaw H22 Super CD engine from 1922-25 with larger Kingston carb. As can be documented with the paperwork that came with it. It was sold to the original buyer in October 1923.
We did NOT get the clutch/crank it would have been shipped with from Shaw as we call all assume it was lost many many years ago.
1. Can some more educated people out there tell me what tall tool tank frames this would fit on from the same era? I was going to use my Henderson X I had been told was Shaw equipped but it is slightly to short a frame and don't want to make changes to it.
2. I am also looking for anyone with documentation of installation and pictures of a CD (chain drive), magneto Shaw these are the later H20 and H22 versions used in kits, or factory bikes.
3. We need a Shaw Clutch/crank hanger and the adjuster lever, later version, flat metal.
4. If anyone has contacts I can reach by email that have, make or supply any Shaw parts please let me know.
I will keep everyone up to date as to this getting back to running.
I also offer to anyone the information I have learned, as most of the pages are to big to scan in I will happily type out word for word from the pages. And I say happily but please keep in mind as I cant feel my fingers except for pain since chemo, so I will do this with love.
P.S. I would like to note ALL Shaw engines were tested before they left to the buyer so as this is slightly used it may simply be the factory use before shipping out. But whose to know.
