As Antony says the Engine number on the left side of the engine below the alternator should indicate what engine size it is.
If its originally a parrallel import then they did have 33bhp versions in France and other countries, also people in this country did get 33bhp restrictor kits fitted.
Best to work out what you do have first Chad


Hi Guys, Iv been on Hols for a couple of weeks and not had chance to check the engine out until today, what I have found is this :

Engine Number: ZDM 500 A2C 000007

Letters stamped on the heads are: Front Head 'A' - Rear Head 'E'

Any help would be much apprecheated.........

Iv added a couple of photos of the engine so you can see what Im looking at....




Thanks C.
