Has the engine seen fuel if not will be worth more. If it had original box and in mint the last one I saw for sale they were asking about US$3000 it was in France.

Wow, that's a cool engine. Looks like a miniature jetski engine.

 

[Grimracer]

lets see.. I put it in a boat for ya!...lol

The motor looks to have had fuel in it..and chances are it has been run.. IT IS SUPER CLEAN on the pistons. It DOES turn over but its a tick gummy... I it needs to be taken apart and gone though.

There's a decent article out there on the web regarding the B 20... has all the specs, inc. timing #'s, I believe,

as well as pricing... we'll see if we can dig it up, if that does any good.

UPDATE: Nope, no price in this article- http://sceptreflight.net/Model%20Engine%20Tests/OPS%20B.20%20Marine.html

One sold back around 2010, NIB, Peter Chinn Collection, for around $425- https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?1332249-OPS-B-20-twin-for-sale%21
