Looking for flywheel,header,pipe Os .21XZ-M

[Davidkrienke]

I just had bought a o.s 21 xz-m and was wanting to use it for a outboard but not having much luck finding a crank . I might put it in a miss vegas as a inboard and needed a flywheel and brass collet ,header and pipe for it. Does anyone have anything ?
also my brother needs a rod and piston and sleeve for a .21 xm outboard as well he really wants a abc cylinder if he can find one . any help would be appreciated. thanks Dave

I would put a nova rossi flywheel and collet on it.. and change the carb...

 

[Davidkrienke]

I was reading you saying the carb wasn't the best. I am hoping someone has some used parts to get it going. I think I put this in the wrong section of the forum. How could I move it ?or is it ok this time ?

The 10D carb is huge and better suited for a 45 motor IMO. OS makes a nice flywheel from the VZ-M motor. Found one on eBay. OS VZ-M marine flywheel

I saw that flywheel on ebay . I was unsure if it would fit. I did find a old car pipe and header just dont have springs for it. I wonder if it would work. I could also take the 20j carburetor off of my xm21 outboard to try on the motor if the carb is too big.

Try Gab at StumpFAB for your outboard parts. He might be able to help you with the other parts as well.

the VZM flywheel is a tricky choice.. it does not allow the use of two wrenchs to undo the cable collet. I would stick with CMB or Nova or any other.. having said this the OS flywheel will work but you will have to use a wire spanner in the flywheel holes.

I do have them and I do have have used them, i just dont prefer them

I will have to keep looking for a flywheel maybe someone has one . Do you know what pipe length I will want to shoot for if I get a real os header and a regular boat pipe on this engine?

One small reason I prefer the OS flywheel over the Nova are the spanner holes. Nova put three holes in their flywheels so you can only use a pin wrench. The OS flywheel has two holes directly opposite each other. I have run the OS flywheel on both OS and Nova motors. I don't like the Nova thread adapter which puts the collet further away from the small end bearing. I found you can turn down an Octura coupler to extend the threaded nose into the OS flywheel.

Ok...... I'll bite...what is the deal with the glow plug on the blue motor ?
I've never seen that before.

Frank,

Its a water jacket for the plug. Start the engine. Snap the water jacket on. Floods the plug body.

Thanks. Brad.

interesting,,, Plugs last any longer ?

 

[Grimracer]

nope...

 

[RaceMechaniX]

For better or worse the OS head only cools the plug and the immediate surrounding dome area. It does not have a cooling jacket over the squish area.

I have a own machined flywheel which can fit your xz-m engine. $15 plus shipping.
Thanks, Patrick
