Hi Rich
No, i don't know which motor is used for the base parts but i do know that Tony has Visited China in 2008 and selected a supplier who makes the legs for Yamaha outboard motors.
He imports the component parts and then assembles the engines in his Adelaide workshop, using NTN bearings and high grade bolts.
Where the wires exit the magneto engine case are very well sealed and the casting in this area is different compared to my other motors.
I was surprised to see that the cylinder ports on my engine have had a going over with the die grinder - no casting flash anywhere.
My two previous Chinese engines had shocking amounts of casting flash - was amazed that they were allowed to leave the factory in that condition.
