It's a 73. And appears to be mini bike correct.

It is a Mini bike engine but, mine is not in a mini bike.

Mine is in a 1973 Alouette Jr Brute / Mini Snowmobile

BTW, mine is lighted, is yours ?

 

[lager]

Cool, I had a Big Wheel DMP once and now that I think about it, it was Orange.

If you need some Re-Pop decals, I can Help you?

I'll get all the #'s off my HS40 on Tuesday for ya.

That would just break it down a little more to maybe a run of engines built that day so that last 0 which is also sometimes a letter would maybe narrow it down to time or batch or shift etc..
