John, that engine is a 1947 Hayward Connelly Racing Thunderbird ''60''.
Twin plug and the lever on the rear is to retard and advance the timing. Notice the points on the rear of the engine. Also rear short intake.

The factory burned down before these engines could be mass produced which means only a small amount were made by hand before the fire. Ser.# on this one is #63 and never been run.
These almost never show up anywhere for sale.

No those are Wen Mac's Merv, basically mint and all four are slightly different with recoils built in. These were good reliable engines and easy starting.

OK a few photos, no details, no time sorry! Engines came in a case of French Champagne.

These are all new & unrun, champagne has all been consumed.

Re: Mailbox watching again

Engines came today guy's and I'm 10ft off the floor. Even after you know who hit me for 185.00 in tax, cripes what a ripoff that is.
Doesn't matter I'm too buzzed for that to bother me.

I don't think I'll have time to post photos tonight but I'll try my best.
