need info on engine
Just took my 1961 ca 77 out of mothballs after over 20+ years to do a restore.I purchased the bike in 1973 (would you believe $80.00 with an extra engine).only thing missing is the chain guard.

Hi,
Since it's a 1961 engine it has a crankcase breather tower. Later models have an integrated breather on the top cylinder cover. A very nice way to own a original dream.
I guess in 1973 you could do a lot more with 80 USD then nowadays ?

Re: need info on engine
Jensen is correct and ya may want to look on the right side near the chain sprocket and see if the breather valve is still there.
Also from what I see this engine doesn't have the primary chain tensioner lower case.
If ya do plan on using this engine I suggest ya replace the lower case so ya can install the tensioner. ..........lm
