Vintage novarossi

[Drew St. Amant]

I have a old novarossi I'm rebuilding for a Youngblood 20, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me where I might be able to get bearings for it. Also if anyone could tell me any history or interesting facts about it that would be cool too!someone put a glow plug in the carb to block off what I assume would be the low speed needle, which I thought was funny.

probably not worth the money to fix that up. The piston and sleeve look beyond repair and there are no spares available.

Drew,

I may have a few of those engines in my vintage collection box.
I will look for them tomorrow for you. You can have them if
I still have them.

Thanks,

Bearings,
Boca Bearings
Measure what came out of the engine and give em a call.

Thanks for the help guys I'll get them measured and try boca, and I would appreciate that Mark! I know it's nothing special I just have a soft spot for the vintage stuff figured it'd be fun to try and fix up

That looks to be an old short stroke 4 port to me. I have not seen one of those since the mid 90s. My old bearing chart says 607 and 2513 for those.

I just bought OEM bearings on Ebay They seem to last longer in my opinion

That's where the main needle would go, low needle on other side. What OS carb is that 2D or 4E?1

That is to pre-heat the fuel upon delivery!!

The carb is actually a 4D. No idea what that means but that's what it says on it. The only os carb I'm really familiar with is the 4E.

I think that I have some 2513 bearings in stock. I have several early SS motors and parts as well. I know that I have 2514 bearings on hand.

Jon,

Would you have bearings for a Novarossi-21 35+ engine?

Thanks For Checking In Advance,

That is a NovaRossi C21, they were Nova's first engine released in the mid 80's (1984/85). After the Rossi brothers parted & Novarossi emerged, sad how things worked out with both Novarossi & the original Rossi Engines no longer in business. Both companys produced some of the best racing engines you could buy. Still quite a few C21 engines around on Ebay.

Sorry Mark. I don't carry bearings for the newer NR 21's. 2514 and 607 for the SS and early 14mm crank LS motors is all I carry. Too many special sizes for NR.

 

[Drew St. Amant]

Got it all put back together, Thanks for the help everyone! I even kept the glow plug needle block off for good luck.

That is good to know. Got a couple of SS that could use some bearings.
