No.
But there is a way to tell if it originally came with gears or chain:
by engine number. According to the factory, starting with #58532, all
engines were fitted with chains.
That said, owners have and still do convert chain-drive engines to
gears, and vice versa, according to preference. For exampe, I had my
chain Eldo converted to gears for a while but have now switched back to
chain.

is there anyway of telling if an engine has timing gears or a chain without pulling off the generator pulleys and front cover?? Neil. |
