the first Harley's

I visited the museum last september. I do not recall seeing this motor displayed.

Nice indeed! Thanks for the pics!!

Very nice. It is bound to be a real beauty when finished. That motor was a very lucky find.

Will it look like the palm tree California photo? If I remember it correctly, that was good documentation of a real bike.

here's the new carb for 2221.its almost "undetectable",other than the lack of stamped numbers .

erie

the engine on ebay is most commomnly known as an erie,it may have been called other things such as reliance.its story is long and varied,but very interesting as glenn curtiss actually produced this engine.i have alot of info ,so i'll start another thread.

Greg it reminds me somewhat of a Shaw. Don't quote me on it though. It sure tain't no Harley or Indian.....

something i just now noticed is the location of the oil cup,and the oiler drip tube cast into the left case. on 2221 it is cast in ,off center from the cylinder hole in the top of the case.so when mounted in the frame it would be aiming straight up to collect the oil ,and deliver it to the pully shaft, then escape down the tube out the bottom of the case. on the "comet" cases this oiler setup is in line with cylinder hole.so i presume this engine was designed to stand upright ,instead of leaning forward like the harley engine. just a guess.

Those cases are near mirror images of each other! Glad to hear 2221 will be left as is!
