Some fellow has what he's calling an Mc49c on eBay right now. 184065760434. It has socket head screws, red gasket goop or red gaskets and a Walbro carb and sloper manifold. The only '49 I ever had was a "C" model. It had painted hex screws, no red gasket goop and a flatback carb. What gives? Am I wrong (as usual)? Ted

Did the 49's come with the saw-style shroud that had multiple holes for the recoil? I don't remember those coming from the factory on the kart engines, just the saws. It's been a LONG time since I owned a Mac! TJ

Did the 49-C blocks have recessed exhaust gasket? He claims it to be NOS. The block may at one time, but has been fed thu a media blaster. All that silicone sure makes a person know the motor has been properly assembled...<sar>

Thanks, Steve. I haven't held a '49 in my hands for many years, but I thought the one on eBay was an "E" model. Anyhow, guys, there's the 'word" from he who knows! TJ

That is most likely a saw block. The 49e with recessed exhaust gasket was also a newer style casting, like the 49m/c, with a more rounded cylinder head. This one is square like the older fixed head saw motors.
