ccw kec 340 rs motor f/a info help

[S_Kyle]

Being a fan conversion I would lean more towards a scorpion motor. They came from the factory with f/a conversions in 71. I don't know if any other manufactures cut down fans into free airs but scorpion did. Can you post a pic of the intakes?

djsnow,

A little history for you, from the 72-74 model years, Deere used CCW motors that were built by Kirotz of Japan. Starting with the 74 295/s until 78, Deere purchased motors directly from Kiortz for most of their sleds. The Kohler powered 73 JDX-4, the 74-77 Model 300 and the 78-79 Spitfires were exceptions.

If your motor is a factory CCW 340cc Free Air, it was never used factory in a Deere sled. I believe Skiroule, Scorpion and others used that motor around 71 or so in their high performance sleds like the 71 RTX racer. If the motor was converted to a FA it could be anything. The Deere 340 RS/2 was a fan cooled, CDI ignition motor, not points.

If you want to send me a few pic's to joerainville@hotmail.com I will try to post them for you. You need to shrink them down to about 640 X 480 or so, and post them on photobucket or another photo hosting site, then post the "img" link on here.

I hope this helps,

Hello Dave,

I took a look at your pic's, and you look to have an original 340 RS FA motor. This is not a Deere engine, but probably a one of the other makes we mentioned. It does look NOS (New Old Stock) and appears to never have been run.

Note that if you were to run it, you should replace the outer crank seals at the very least, but I would suggest a full tear down and send out the crank to have the inner seals replaced.

Nice find at any rate,
