Cox Engine of The Month
"Batwing" Fuji .099

"Batwing" Fuji .099
Changed my mind while getting ready to post pictures. I was going to throw it out here for someone to save me the temptation of buying this Japan based ebay sale with "Free shipping". (Jacob occasionally does the same--"save me from this.")
Listed for $129.95 or there abouts or "Make offer." So 24 hours ago I offered $105.00 which was ignored, not even a "declined." Ok, I'll play your silly game and ignore you're auction. But this thing is just too wierd for me to let it go. In the interum I read up on it. Very interesting history. The serial number indicates not a first run but still quite collectible. "Twin stack"
One reason I was willing to let it go was the "piston", looked quite rusty or gooed up. Lightened the sellers picture and it's the liner not the piston, so we will see.

There is a whole lot here:

about the 099's including the unique head that this one has, but curiously nothing about that Fuji marked muffler.
He must have spent ages researching these Fuji engines.
Seller has 100% positive feedback, but I haven't heard a thing from them.
